First Profession of Sister Maria Antonia of the Holy Wounds of Jesus

On November 1, 2023, solemnity of All Saints, our eldest novice, Sister Maria Antonia of the Holy Wounds of Jesus, professed her first vows (chastity, poverty, obedience, and enclosure), receiving the black veil and knotted cord at the profession ceremony within Holy Mass. The Mass was celebrated by Bishop Peter Baldacchino (bishop pf the Diocese of Las Cruces), with Father Daniel Cardo (pastor of Holy Name Parish in Denver) and Father Larry Bernard, O.F.M., (chaplain of the Roswell Poor Clares) concelebrating. Much to our joy, numerous family and friends were able to attend. We are so happy to have this video, beautifully made by one of Sister's friends, to share with you, and to commemorate our Sister's espousals to Jesus Christ, the Most High King.
