Sisters and Brothers,

It is my honor and pleasure to announce that Brother John David has been overwhelmingly approved for solemn profession by the current Life Professed members of the community. He will make his profession in July at convocation.

Also a reminder that Sister Katharine Fleck, who was elected for solemn profession in 2022 but has been unable to travel for the rite, will finally do so at her home parish on Wednesday evening May 7, at 7:00 PM pacific time (9 PM central time, 10 PM eastern time). The service will be streamed via zoom. Sister Genevieve Lynn has the link and log-on credentials, which she will send out early next week.

Please join with me i n prayers for these two members as they prepare for and take this important step.

Blessings,

Abbess Martha
