Because my own mama had to stay behind and play for the Masses at the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul, I went to the Mother/Daughter Retreat by Father of Mercy Ben Cameron on the Luminous Mysteries with my God-mother and her daughter.
Meeting the girls
Sr. Joseph Marie explaining the habit
God-daughter and daughter
Sr. Ave Maria fondly and energetically embracing the timid girls...
The conference room at night. Since the Sisters' chapel is just large enough for the nuns, Mass is said in the conference room. (Thus, the life-sized Crucifix and statues) The permanent chapel is yet to be built.
St. Joseph
Notice the shadow on the wall
Our Lady
Am I artistic, or what?
Immediately behind this wall is the sisters' chapel.
Tabernacle in the chapel at about midnight
Jesus in the Eucharist (I can't remember the official name...)
Our Lady
The Rosary Crucifix with the carnation
Another of the Tabernacle

Nuns singing about Sr. Louise Marie shooting the armadillo (Don't worry, its only mostly true...)

Me and the statue
