Golden Jubilee of St. Antonette

We recently celebrated the Golden Jubilee of our Sister Mary Antonette.  Part of the celebration was a slide show that we put together using her own personal pictures as well as photos from our community albums.  The accompanying music is a bit more rhythmic than is our usual wont since she is a child of the “60’s and still enjoys a modern beat.  Sister Antonette has a unique history among cloistered Poor Clare Nuns who generally stay put in one monastery for the duration of their monastic lives.  She entered a monastery is Roswell, New Mexico and was then sent to us here in Virginia to assist in a time of need.  She was then sent to found a new monastery in the Netherlands.  After about 20 years, she returned to us.  Here is a loving representation of her journey:
