Parishioner, Katie Rotterman, takes the next step in becoming a Felician Sister!

On Sunday, February 2, 2020, in the chapel of Our Lady of Hope Provincial House in Beaver Falls, PA, Provincial Minister Sister M Christopher Moore presented Postulant Catherine (Katie) Rotterman with a tau cross at the end of her Rite of Acceptance. This symbol is to remind Katie of her commitment to deepen her baptismal call to follow Christ as she learns the way of life of the Felician Congregation as a Postulant.
On Tuesday, along with Director of Formation Sister Suzanne Marie Kush, Katie travelled to Mother of the Eucharist Convent in Laredo, TX, to begin her postulancy year. During this time, by sharing in the life, prayers, works, mission and vision of the Felician community, she will gradually become integrated into the Felician way of life.
Sister Christina Marie Conroy will assist Katie in this initial formation process as the director of postulants. 
If you would like to send a note of congratulations to Katie, or offer your support in prayer, or send holiday greetings throughout the year, you may use the following address: Katie Rotterman, c/o Mother of the Eucharist Convent, 705 Dellwood Drive, Laredo, TX 78045-2114

The month of February is traditionally dedicated to the Passion of Our Lord in anticipation of the liturgical season of Lent. In this month, we begin to meditate on the mystery of Jesus' sufferings which culminated in his death on the Cross for the redemption of mankind. Saints who had a special devotion to Christ's passion include St. Francis of Assisi, who was the first known saint to receive the stigmata; St. John of the Cross; St. Bridget of Sweden; and St. Catherine of Siena.

PRAYER FOR THE HOLY FATHER

​Almighty and everlasting God, have mercy upon Thy servant, Pope Francis, our Supreme Pontiff, and direct him, according to Thy loving kindness, in the way of eternal salvation; that, of thy gift, he may ever desire that which is pleasing unto thee and may accomplish it with all his might. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen. Our Father. Hail Mary.
