Along with the Feast Days of St Francis and Mother Clara, we celebrated Covenant Companion Paige Samdal’s Reception into Postulancy. Paige has been a Covenant Companion with our Wheaton Franciscan Community for several years and now feels called to continue to walk with us as a vowed member of the community.  As we continue this discernment process towards vowed life together, we are grateful for Paige’s generous heart and her commitment to living our Franciscan charism. May Mother Clara bless her and us on this journey. (Sr. M. Beatrice Hernandez FCJM)
