Novice's Notes

For women that are discerning religious life, A Novice’s Notes opens the door for a discussion. So many questions but who do you ask?

Here is an option for a “no strings attached” opportunity to get some answers to these questions from a novice.

If you were not able to come this year you'll have to make sure to come next year. We really had a lot of fun.

God sent me my own burning bush.

I took these pictures some time ago while out on a walk. I love them and wanted share. The bark is actually loose and when the sun hit the bark it made the branch look as though it was burning.

Hope to see you there.

Join us as we enjoy "Unexpected Song" (an outdoor concert at St Emma Monastery) presented by Alabaster Performing Arts.

I always imagine a hen covering her brood when we pray Psalm 56.

Psalm 56(57)
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy,
for in you, my soul has taken refuge.
In the shadow of your wings, I take refuge
till the storms of destruction pass by.
