From Harley Davidson Welcome to Insignia Ceremony

Remember Pam Peasel’s arrival on the Manitowoc shoreline in late August amid the Harley Davidson crowd? Well, time has passed since Pam began her first days with the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity.
Today, on a snowy December 8th feast of the Immaculate Conception, in a communal prayer setting, Pam was formally accepted to the Postulancy. This is a time of living with others who have dedicated themselves to the Lord and carry on His work. Sister Pat Sevcik serves as Pam’s guide in assimulating the spirit of Francis.
In Thomas Celano’s first book there is a reference about Francis making himself a tunic in the image of the cross. It was to be a reminder of the call to imitate Christ. Sister Louise Hembrecht, OSF, Community Director, presented Pam a tau cross with Jesus hand covering that of St. Francis (the Franciscan insignia) as a reminder of her own call to follow Christ. Sister Louise encouraged all present to respond with generosity to whatever God may ask and to live the Gospel joyfully.Consider.�

It is a joy to journey with you Pam! It is so renewing to walk with you as you get to know more about Jesus’ love for you through life with our Franciscan community! Count on my continued prayers for you!
Welcome,Pam! That big winning smile will take you a long way in joy as you travel through life. Blessings upon you.
Pam, the Lord bless you this Advent. As we together surrender all that we are, as we are, to God, may we bear Christ to the world.
Pam,
Congratulations on your formal entry into the Postulancy. We are blessed to have you with us. Be assured of my prayerful support as you continue your formation. May each day be a grace and blessing for you.
Welcome, formally, Pam to our Franciscan family. It is so good to have you here with us. Pray for all of us to be faithful to our calling as we pray for God’s grace in your life leading you where God wills you to be.
As a member of the Postulant team, I want to congratulate Pam on her formal step to being a Postulant. She is open to others and is concerned about them. Pam doesn’t like to focus on herself. She likes to play cards and laugh. God bless you.
Congratulations, Pam. This is a beautiful season of the church year to receive the insignia of our Postulancy. Emanuel, God is with us! Truly God is with you. I thank God for you and pray with you, that we may all be reminded of our call to imitate Christ.
Pam, Being on the team-eating, recreating and spending time with you is a rewarding experience for me. You have a quiet, joyful spirit. It helps me to renew my own commitment to God in my Religious vocation. I hope you continue to be happy as you discern your vocation in our Community. We are certainly happy to have with us.
There is JOY permeating our lives!
My prayers continue to be with you, Pam, as you follow your heart discerning God’s Will for you. God bless you on your journey to a deeper relationship with out Lord.
Pam, you are a gift to us… May the Lord continue to gift Himself to you. You are on an amazing journey of faith.
