It is tradition among the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity. The night before perpetual profession theres a Bride of Christ Shower (simple, yet festive reception) for the Sister(s) professing perpetual vows. Candles and lights helped create a warm atmosphere of joyful sharing on Sister Pamela Catherines August 1, 2014 party. Franciscan Bridal Shower BrideWho comes?
The party is planned by those Sisters in Temporary Vows. Sisters on our General Administration are invited along with any Sisters who served as a support community for the Sister Pamela Catherine or for the Sisters in Temporary Profession that summer.

Good luck to these sisters and dedicated women.
Not my cup of tea, but I have the highest respect for the sisters I’ve met (outside of the school teachers. They were mean.)
The nurses, doctors, and administrative nuns that I know have the best hearts, warmest personalities, and the best sense of humor of any of their peers.
The first time I heard and sister use a swear word, it shook me to the core. She noticed my reaction, and said, “Now you’ve seen everything I guess.”
Sisters rock.
Oh, nuns are tough in a school situation. I was educated by the Sisters of Mercy, cough-cough. Why is it, if they can get away from school (annoying, horrible children) they turn into beautiful people, lol?
On the other hand, my mom, growing up with the sisters in THE 1930s!!!! said they were wonderful.

Teaching is a calling, any good teacher has joy in their vocation. Fortunately, one of the few good things to come out of equal rights for women is that they no longer were relegated to being nurses or teachers.
She became a pastoral associate. Her brand of Catholicism by the time I knew her, was not my cup of tea at all. She really felt called to be a priest and she like the new agey stuff. But that's a different kettle of fish.
Getting back to the topic. The women are marrying, so why not a bridal shower. I think it's wonderful.
