Five new postulants have arrived at the novitiate of the Sister Adorers of the Royal Heart in Naples, Italy, including three Americans, one from Germany and one from France. Postulancy is an year of discernment during which the young lady begins to learn the life of a Sister Adorer.
On the Feast of St. Gertrude, November 16, Monsignor Wach gave each new postulant the cross of St Francis de Sales and the postulant choir cape. The ceremony was followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
