A MEMORABLE DAY The bridal bells tolled joyously fri St. Joseph's Convent, Milwaukee, Wis., on Tuesday, June 14, 1932, when sixty young ladies, J crowned with wreaths of roses, filed into the gorgeous chapel, decked with lilies and palms, symbols of the traits of character of the youthful heroines. These youjng ladies' dearest fjriends were present when they received the distinctive dress or habit which sets them apart from others in their permailed OBrecr. Among the fifty clergy who graced the festivity were the Most Reverend Archbishop Samuel Stritch of Milwau kee, who performed the ceremony, assisted by Monsignor Trandt. Next in order of interest to this vicinity attending the impressive services, was the Rev. A. J. Vollman, pastor of St. Johns Church, Johnsburg, who was instrumental in inspiring a fine, young lady, Catherine Schaefer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Schaefer, to consecrate herself to the service of God in religion. Fortunately, she received on her festal day, the Christian name of her great-grandfather and also of her sponsor. Sister is now addressed as Sister Mary Jacob. She is following in the footsteps of her dear saintly Sr. M. Victricia, now sleeping beneath the flowers which have blossomed on her grave for the past six summers. She has left father and mother, brothers and sister to better her fortune; she has foregone something that both she and they and mankind in general may be benefited by her sacrifice. Hosts of friends and well-wishers were present to share in the joys of the family. Noteworthy of mention are the pastors of their oldest daught », Sr. M. Victricia, namely: Father Wissmg of Mendota, HI., and Father Selk of Pesotum, 111., and two Domin- 1C1i£ nUm' likewise of Mendota. The day passed all too quickly and soon the hour of parting came to lapse into the old routine for all but those young Sisters who have passed * ,.rS.^ m'\estone on their journey of religious life which opens for them new duties and new responsibilities.
