Sr. Elizabeth Le Solemn Profession of Vows

The Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Lafayette joyfully invite you to join them for this special occasion as Sr. Elizabeth Le (Sister Elizabeth of the Trinity) makes the gift of herself to Christ and to the Church on Sunday, July 28, 2019, at 10:00 AM at the Carmelite Monastery, 1250 Carmel Drive in Lafayette, La. Most Reverend J. Douglas Deshotel, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Lafayette will be the Principal Celebrant, Father Daniel Chowning, O.C.D., the Homilist.  The Mass will also be live streamed on www.diolaf.org.

It is a time of great blessings for her Community, as well as for the Diocese of Lafayette. The Solemn Profession of Vows is “a true wedding with Christ in a renewed covenant of love, which shows forth the mystery of the Church as Bride and foretells the good things of the glory that is to come” (Constitutions of the Discalced Carmelite Nuns). Sr. Elizabeth expressed that, “To be the Bride of Christ, espoused to Him forever through Solemn Vows is the greatest gift I could ever ask for in this life, and thus to become a mother of souls.” Let us rejoice in her “fiat” to God’s call and give thanks for the gift of her vocation of prayer in the heart of the Church.
