Back Home

By Sister Julie | May 6, 2008

Greetings! I’ve been away from Chicago and my computer for a few days … lots to tell! On Sunday I was in Monroe, Michigan, home of the IHM Motherhouse, for the final profession of vows of Sister Katherine Collard, IHM. It was fabulous … I’ll write more later. For now, I am catching up with myself and trying to get myself off to work!

Here’s a picture as I walked to the Motherhouse for the profession …

    Welcome home Sister, yeay! :D
    We’ve been fighting about habits while you were gone :P
    That’s a really big motherhouse! How many people live there?

    That was quite a dialog that everyone was engaged in. I’m sorry I was unable to check in on it.

    Our IHM Motherhouse is home to our leadership team and various administrative departments, formation team, justice and peace team, etc. It is also home to many of our retired sisters, plus we have a health care center. You can’t see it in this picture but behind the entrance of the motherhouse (or MH as I call it) is our beautiful chapel. I’ll have to get some pictures of it. Truly stunning.
