Suster-Suster Dominican

Ice cream for recreation in the novitiate on a hot Saturday night! Sr. Mary Cecilia loves that idea!


Sr. Mary Jacinta finds joy in embracing the Cross!




Sisters on a Sunday! The finale of Sr. Mary Catharine's flower garden! No matter how early you start the seeds indoors the flowers always look their best by September!







Here is the monastery today!



Our sisters at the MTS had another sort of monastic studies...peeling and drying bananas! The Lufkin community got a 18 cases of bananas! Obviously, Sr. Joseph Maria is enjoying going bananas

 



A triple rainbow ended a beautiful day of celebration as we had our celebration in honor of Sr. Joseph Maria's solemn profession. More photos to come.


 
Only 1 day left for the Thank you, Mom soap sale! The sisters are busy in the soap room and shipping. We're pretty much able to get orders out the next day so if you order by tomorrow you should have your Mother's Day gifts by Friday or Saturday.

It was Stollen baking day today! Sr. Mary Magdalene, Sr. Mary Catharine (our master baker) and Sr. Mary Jacinta have a system going of buttering each loaf and then coating it in both regular and confectioner's sugar! The count? about 65 loaves!




Sr. Denise Marie and Sr. Mary talking in front of St. Dominic's orange tree. This tree is 133 years old and is from a shoot from the 800 year old tree planted by St. Dominic at Santa Sabina in Rome!


Trying on a few of Sr. Maria Teresa's new hats and you know they have to have a little fun! Happy Feast of the Epiphany!
