Though we have held off on decorating, the cleaning has begun and the requisite baking so it’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas! Our Come and See, Sarah, has rolled up her sleeves and joined the formation group under Sister Christiana’s supervision to rollout lots of sugar cookies. Novice Sister Maria Crucis and Postulant Shannon all enjoyed the double duty (it had to be done simultaneous to the regular meal preparations) in the kitchen and everyone in the monastery enjoyed the smells wafting about. It smelled like “YUM!”

- Even our Christmas cookies can be Eucharistic!
