On the Feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, we celebrated the 80th Jubilee of the Monastery of the Infant Jesus.
We began the day visiting with many friends of the monastery in the parlor. Several of them had come from out of town to help us celebrate our special day.
Sr. Mary Rose with Sr. Maria Christi, of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist in Georgetown, TX. They were college roommates and are now both prioresses of their respective communities!
We were very honored that Bishop Gregory Kelly visited us and celebrated Mass for us on our jubilee.

Many priest friends of the monastery concelebrated Mass with the bishop.
After Mass, we enjoyed a special visit with Bishop Kelly in our community room.

It was a wonderful day that we were honored to share with our bishop and many friends. We are truly grateful and thankful to God and everyone who has made our lives here possible over the last 80 years.

Dearest Sisters, Happy Jubilee! Time flies so quickly! I give thanks for all of you in my life! I first met this community 50 something years ago as a young woman just beginning to explore my Dominican vocation. You have been a source of strength to me in ways I can never express. May the Lord bless you all and may you have many more Jubilees!❤️❤️ Debbie
