Dominican vows

 The last Saturday of July we had the privilege of witnessing first vows of 19 women in Nashville.  She is now Sister Anne Therese with a black veil.  It was so awesome to be there and witness these young women make their first vows.   There was PURE JOY on their faces and in their voices as they made their vows.  This was our first time to visit Nashville and Sister's home. It was our first time to be at this type of ceremony and it was AMAZING !!!   The chapel was beautiful and pretty amazing Sunday morning when we arrived for mass with all the sisters present. 

white veils  - then black veils  :)
 


 Our gift to sister was something to help them celebrate as community.  Duct tape and Aluminum foil are our trademark gift to Sister. 
On her high school graduation with foiled her bedroom. 


 Each bottle was also foiled!!

the Blue Nun wine made her laugh as did several other bottles with special names like St. Francis and Twisted.  We told her next time we'd get her 7 Deadly Zins ..... I think she thought we were kidding!!



What a wonderful trip to make for summer vacation !!!!
