Sharon entered our community in 2019, following a one year postulancy and two year novitiate. She made her simple profession and began the juniorate in March of 2022. Sharon is a Texas native who worked several years in the physical therapy profession. Here in the monastery, she has learned new skills, including how to read the chant notation we use at the Divine Office and how to bake our sacred altar breads. Her most recent assignment is that of assistant infirmarian, helping to care for our sisters’ health needs. Her eagerness to give herself to God and follow Jesus in our Cistercian way inspires us all to live our vocation more wholly.
