PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW…
On Sunday, August 11, 2019, Sr. Michelle Xuan Ng., O.CIST, renewed her vows and celebrated 25 years of Religious Life. Bishop Myron Cotta was the celebrant and there was an abundance of friends who gathered around to congratulate Sr. Michelle and join her in prayer and thanksgiving for her years spent in Religious Life. Sr. Michelle is a member of the Cistercian Sisters of the Observance and is a member of the newest Congregation to be part of the Diocese of Stockton. The Sisters have a beautiful little retreat house in Thornton. They pray for the Church and the Diocese.
We welcome them and we congratulate Sr. Michelle for this wonderful achievement. We wish her many more years of service and joy in the Lord’s vineyard!
Enjoy the moment!
