Angels

Yesterday evening we were privileged to be able to hear some wonderful sacred music at St. Thomas Catholic Church in Coeur d’ Alene. Local artists, including several sisters who last June left the schismatic group at Mount St. Michael's in Spokane, beautifully performed the music. When fifteen of these brave ladies made the decision to come into full union with the Church they were welcomed into the Spokane Diocese and given housing at the Immaculate Heart Retreat Center. They have formed a new order of traditionalist sisters who still wear full habits.

I was privileged to have had the opportunity to get to know these ladies when I worked at the Costco on the north side of Spokane since the sisters from the Mount did most of their shopping there. Bishop Skylstad invited the Missionaries of Charity (Mother Theresa’s order), to come to Spokane with the express purpose of visiting and praying for these sisters. They named their new order the Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Church. Welcome home, sisters.
