On Wednesday ” the Feast of All Saints ” Molly O™Brien (™03) will enter the Abbey of St. Walburga in Virginia Dale, Colorado.

œI had no intention of entering religious life, admits Miss O™Brien, who entered nursing school after graduating from the College more than 14 years ago. For the last 11 years she has worked as a nurse, primarily in the cardiology unit at Children™s Hospital Colorado. But œGod is full of surprises, she adds, and she discovered her vocation when she œwent through the Exercises of St. Ignatius and, around the same time, randomly stopped at the Abbey on a road trip.

By God™s grace Miss O™Brien will soon be making the transition from the active life to that of a contemplative Benedictine nun. œI am so excited to be entering! she writes.

Please keep her in your prayers!
