RECEPTION AND PROFESSION
Interesting Ceremonies at ST. Joseph's
Academy.

March 10 is the Patrona1 Feast Of
the Sisters Of st. Joseph. 1t Is Gus
tomary to observe it at the Provincial
Motherhouse Of the Order, st. Joseph's
Academy, by the ceremonies attending
the reception of postulants and the
profession of novices.
The exercises in the chapel were
private, being witnessed only by the
Sisters of the community and the
clergymen who took part in them. At
half past eight o'clock Mass was cele-
brated by the Reverend T. e. Cullen,
of Minneapolis, in presence of the Most
Reverend Archbishop, who preached
sermon on the religious life. At it's
close the postulants knelt before him
and expressed their desire to receive
the habit of the Order and be enrolled
among the novices who will receive
further training before being admitted
to full participation in the privileges
of the Sisterhood. Then the novices
who had been receiving that training
for the past two years made their first
vows and were incorporated into the
community.
