Brides of Christ

The novices before their First Profession.

Family and friends of the Sisters gather in the Cathedral of the Incarnation for the Mass of First Profession.

We were blessed with the presence of numerous seminarians and priests.

Father James Cuddy, O.P. of the Province of St. Joseph preaches the homily.

Sr. Beatrice recites her vows.

Sr. Maria Catherine recites her vows.

Mother Ann Marie and Sr. Sharon Rose.

After professing their vows, each Sister receives the black veil, the sign of her consecration,

from the Bishop.

The chalice used for the Mass was that of Richard Pius Miles, O.P., the first bishop of Nashville.

As their scapulars are blessed, the Sisters prostrate themselves.

Archbishop Raymond Burke and Bishop David Choby.

The program cover designed by one of the newly professed Sisters.

The wedding cake!
