This year, the Monastery of the Infant Jesus hosted the Tyler diocese World Day of Consecrated Life.

Bishop Gregory Kelly officiated at Mass.
Religious women from different congregations from all over the diocese came to visit. Some of them were old friends and some were new arrivals to the diocese.

After Mass, we all met in the parlor to introduce ourselves and explain to each other about our own congregations. There are so many ways religious women serve the Lord. Since we’re cloistered, we don’t often get to see our sister religious, so it was wonderful to be able to host them on this special day.
