The Sister Adorers of the Royal Heart of Jesus have gained five new postulants. The five, who come from the United States, Venezuela, Mexico, Sp[ain and Germany,received the blue cape from the hands of Monsignor Giles Wach, the Prior General of the Order, on the Feast of the Holy Innocents.
Four of the postulants are seen here with Mgr Wach at the Noviciate of the Order in Naples. Generally, postulants take the habit after a year, and spend three years as novices before becoming fully professed nuns.
The Sister Adorers of the Royal Heart of Jesus are contemplative nuns who are only partially enclosed. Their principal work is providing support for the priests of the Institute of Christ the King Supreme Priest. They edo this in many ways including singing at Mass and the Office, making and repairing vestments and teaching in schools. The Sisters have convents in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, the USA and Preston in England.
