Yesterday, women religious from various congregations joined the Ursuline Sisters of the Eastern Province to celebrate the Celebration of Consecrated Life for the 2025 Jubilee Year. Held in anticipation of the Jubilee of Consecrated Life (October 8–9), this special observance within the Holy Year honors women and men who have dedicated their lives to religious service.
Guests kicked off the celebration in the Province Center's chapel with prayer, tambourine shaking, and singing along to live music. Afterwards, the festivities continued in the Angela Garden Room, featuring light bites, refreshments, and conversation. Guests were treated to a mariachi band whose lively music inspired dancing and laughter. It was a truly joyful celebration, one that captured the true spirit of the Jubilee Year. ... See MoreSee Less
