Benedictine Novitiate Rites At Immaculate Conception Chapel
Last Thursday a large crowd witnessed the Convent of the Immaculate Conception celebrate new members in the order of St. Benedict. Miss Minnie Streigel, Miss Frances Harm, Miss Magdalene Schmitt, Miss Magdalene Karessel, and Miss Mary Karis took simple and perpetual vows. Abbot Athanasius of St. Meinrad presided and preached on religious life. Perpetual vows were marked by a solemn bell toll, and High Mass featured Rev. F Seibertz as celebrant. The scene left many with lasting memories of the ceremony.
