The 4th Dutch Sister in our Institute: Maria Iuxta Crucem made her final vows in the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Ter Nood in Heiloo (North Holland).
The Auxiliary bishop of the diocese Haarlem- Amsterdam Bishop J.M.E. Hendriks was the main celebrant of the evening Mass. The choir solemnized the celebration which consisted of Sisters from the Province and other friends from different apostolates.
It was a great joy to see the entrance procession with a large amount of concelebrants accompanied by the beautiful entrance hymn “Laudate pueri, Domini.” The church was beautifully decorated and packed with a great number of family and friends of our Sisters from around the country. Mother Maria de Anima Christi, the general superior of our Institute came from Rome especially for the occasion.

We ask God for the perseverance and sanctity of this new Spouse of Christ and for the spiritual fruits that God wants to work in the souls who attended this great occasion. As the people were leaving they all expressed their gratitude for being able to participate in such a beautiful celebration and we would like to do the same.
