Convent Crawl

Convent Crawl Evening

We welcomed Hope Marie as the third House in the Convent Crawl.  Hope arrived around 6:00 p.m. for a quick tour of our "guest quarters" of the monastery.  Dinner was then served and enjoyed with the Nuns in our large parlor.  Hope shared her story and how she came to know of the Convent Crawl. Then some of the Nuns shared their vocation story.
 

Hope was given a tour of the cloistered part of our monastery via large pictures explained by the Nuns. She enjoyed the tour and then asked questions  about religious life.  She also asked regarding the various forms of religious life since she had experienced several during the Convent Crawl.

As the evening drew to a close we shared together Night Prayer, including our traditional Saturday Salve with lit candles around Our Blessed Mother's statue.
Hope then returned home with much to ponder from her blessed day!
