Florida State University

From Sept. 25th- October 2nd, Sr. Thérèse Marie and Sr. Eliana went to Florida State University to be present and speak at the Catholic Student Union retreat held at Camp Cherry Lake, FL. They also spent time at Florida State University ministering and speaking to the students, including a night entitled "Capture My Heart" for the women focusing on the vocation of womanhood and discernment. The Sisters then met with women individually and attended the Catholic Student Union'sweekly "Spirit Night".The ministry was very blessed !!
