On Tuesday 8 Spetember, Our Lady’s Birthday, we were delighted to welcome Amanda formally into our community.
We were joined by a few priest friends, who witnessed Amanda’s formal reception, a small ceremony in our oratory in which she was given the Divine Office, the Crucifix of the Sisters of the Gospel of Life and a copy of our vision statement (the text of the ceremony is in the next post).
We then has Mass, in which our currently resident deacon, Ross Campbell, preached a rather beautiful sermon that drew a parallel between the simplicity and generosity of Our Lady’s Fiat and Amanda’s.
The celebrations spilled into a sumptious lunch prepared by Sr Roseann. It was a wonderful day altogether and Sr Amanda has been (and is being) a real blessing for us. May we all thrive together in this great adventure of living the Gospel of Life!
Sisters of the Gospel of Life 
Great news! Will remember you all in my prayers.
How wonderful! I will pray for you (I do anyway). I love the image of Our Lady in your photograph – she looks as if she’s leaning through a window to join you.
That is just blessed news. So happy. We will all be praying for you all and your work.
