"People may be surprised to know that I see my yes a lot like Mary's "yes", in that God helped me say an initial "yes" to monastic life, and now I cannot wait to see how he helps unfold that "yes" throughout my vocation." – Br. Simon Herrmann, OSB #WorldDayforConsecratedLife

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

This weekend, the church celebrates World Day of Consecrated Life. If you see a religious brother, sister, or priest make sure to thank them for their service to our Church!
