Sisters request prayers

The Sisters of Saint Francis of the Martyr Saint George in Alton, Illinois are holding special festivities tomorrow, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Eight Sisters will make their Final Profession of Vows, two novices will make their First Profession of Vows and two postulants will be received into the Novitiate.

Please keep these Sisters in your prayers. They are an excellent community. They have some great pictures here.

While I am on the topic, a Sister of the Gospel of Life joined us yesterday morning for Mass, and one of our Diocesan seminarians, as well. Please pray for men and women seeking to answer the Lord's call to the priesthood and religious life.
