What This Convent Means to Me

Remembering the Sisters of the Holy Nativity. Last month, our “gift of the spirit” was to bring a hilarious story that captured the lightheartedness and laughter inspired by our Mother Superior, Shirley Jane. This month, our first gift is to bring the story of how the Sisters of the Holy Nativity and their convent touched our lives. As I look at this chapel after the fire that destroyed this holy place, I am struck by all the nuns who knelt to pray here over the many, many decades. I imagine the echoes of their hymns, sung with folded hands and open hearts. This will be an uplifting conversation as each of our spirits have been touched by this convent in transformative ways.
