A flock of doves, a gaggle of geese, a pack of wolves, a litter of puppies, a choir of angels… what is it called when the group in question is of candidates for a Religious Community? Our 10 candidates have reminded me intermittently of both a choir of angels and a litter of puppies; but whatever the term might be, they are each a blessing and a gift from God to our little – and growing community.

Meet our Candidate Class of 2005:

(left to right) Therese Teevan (England), Kensie Geier (Kansas), Linda Alvarado (Texas), Josephine Callaghan (England), Elizabeth Ward (New York), Emily Hellberg (Michigan), Anne Marie Lavalle (England), Katherine Hamm (Washington, D.C.), Lisette van Munster (The Netherlands), and Maire McAteer (N. Ireland)

Please pray for them as they begin the adventure of religious life!

Sr. Clare Matthiass, CFR
