The novena of St. Teresa of Avila will be October 6-14.  Mass in her honor will be celebrated on October 15th at 9:00 a.m. by Most Reverend Joseph A. Fiorenza.

This year we are also celebrating the centenary of the death of Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity.  By the time Elizabeth of the Trinity had entered the Carmelite community in Dijon, France in 1901, she had already read St. Therese's Story of a Soul and was devoted to her Little Way.   At an early Elizabeth of the Trinity appreciated the indwelling of the Trinity in her soul from baptism and her life was an on-going living  and deepening of this grace. She lived with God dwelling within her soul as her beloved "Three."  She wanted everyone to know the Indwelling of the Presence of the Trinity that abides in each person baptized in Christ.  We will honor her by having a special solemn Mass on November 7 at 6:30 p.m. by Most Reverend Daniel N. DiNardo.

"Therese of Lisieux and Elizabeth of the Trinity understood that the act of total surrender to the triune God as the highest possible form of engagement on behalf of the world's salvation."  Hans Urs von Balthasar.

We welcome young women who are discerning and/or desiring to deepen their prayer life to visit and pray with us.
