Well today was a wonderful day. Four times a year our entire community gathers for a weekend community meeting. These meetings deal with many things but give all of us an opportunity to hear important information together, to discuss our present and to plan for our future. As a community, we discuss important information with all present and everyone is given a chance to speak on topics that come to the floor.
Today we discussed many things, but one of the most exciting was the approval for Sister Barbara Smith to make Final Monastic Profession! She will be making profession on April 27. What a joyous occasion that will be. It is so exciting for all of us.
In celebration, many of the sisters gathered this evening in our game room to celebrate the joyful news with Sister Barbara. While lots of activities took place - the most amusing was the Benedictine ping pong game - it was done as a community! I have attached 2 video clips. The first one is a slower more refined version of the new game. The second clip is with fewer people and thus a bit faster paced and a bit more dangerous!
What a great evening and what joy for our community! We are so blessed to have Sister Barabara as part of our monastic community.
