Dear Friends & Family,

Today was filled with nothing but pure joy and elation. After a full day of community meetings, I was received by Sister Carol Jean Kuntz, Provincial Leader, into the novitiate with the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation.

During the ceremony, Sister Carol Jean presented me with my white veil and the Constitutions of the Congregation. Following the Liturgy we had a nice supper and a table was all fixed with many cards from family and friends. Even some from people I have yet to meet.

Those who participated in the Liturgy planned by the St. Margaret's Community and myself included: Sister Anne Germaine -- 1st reader; Sister Dorothy Bunce -- 2nd reader; Sister Elaine -- Intercessions; Sisters Celine Marie and Therese Celine -- gifts; Sisters Marguerite, Debra, and Rose Therese -- Eucharistic Ministers; and Sister Suzanne -- music.

After supper, we all gathered in the community as we do each evening and played games. It was a very special day filled with many fond memories and blessings galore.
