Profession of Kathy McGuirk, OFS

Our May meeting was the Profession Mass of Kathy McGuirk, OFS.  We celebrated at the regular 5:30pm Sunday evening Mass with the Holy Family community.

Our Vice Minister, Horace, read the introduction before Mass began.

Deacon Brian and Deacon Bill assisted at the Mass with Fr. Jose

Just after the Gospel, Kathy requested formal admission in the fraternity from Minister Steve and Formation Director Steve.
THIS IS WHAT I WANT.

Fr Jose conducted the actual Rite of Profession prior to the Final Blessing.

Kathy kneels receiving a blessing.

Kathy was then presented with the traditional profession gifts:  Book of the Gospels, Cross, and Candle.
Everyone in the congregation stayed through the entire Rite.
Afterward, we went downstairs to celebrate.
We had a nice celebration cake from the fraternity.
Actually we had two cakes.

There was plenty of food...
... and lots of people to help celebrate.

Congratulations, Kathy.
What a special occasion for us all!
