Our Fiat Events in the Catholic Diocese of Memphis in Tennessee are off to a great start!!

The Sister Servants of the Eternal Word (Irondale, AL) joined Fr. Jolly and the priests at Our Lady of Perpetual Help (OLPH) Catholic School for a vocations panel, sharing about religious life, their vocation, and what it means to be a sister!

What a gift to have the joyful witness of our religious sisters present in our Catholic schools, helping young hearts discover the beauty of a life given entirely to Jesus!

Thank you to OLPH for welcoming Mary and Elizabeth as well as our sisters and priests for their generous witness! 🙏🏻

With deep gratitude and humility, we share that on the Feast of Mary, Mother of the Church, a private chapel was blessed at the Mission Houses of Mary and Elizabeth so that the lay consecrated women and those discerning on the property might gather in prayer to worship and adore Him.

Each day, our consecrated women gather before Him in prayer for the Liturgy of the Hours and two holy hours offered for the interior renewal and sanctification of priests, consecrated and religious, and families.

We are profoundly humbled that Our Lord would choose to come and dwell among us in His Eucharistic Presence in this little place of prayer, hiddenness, and love. Through the maternal intercession of Our Lady, Mother of the Church, may this Oratory become a place the Good Shepherd is tenderly and faithfully loved while He draws them and those they pray for into deeper union with Him.

Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
