I had dinner this evening with my parishioners,Carmelite Novice, Sister Loretta-Maria McKee, her blood sister Shawnee and their father Eugene who took the photo. We ate at a wonderful local seafood restaurant called Marker 107. It is slightly more than 5 miles from my rectory. Looking across the marsh are two islands which are nature preserves with pristine beaches, Ossaba Island and St. Catherine Island where several Franciscan Friars were martyred in the 1500’s. They are on their way to canonization.
These nature preserve islands are accessible only by boat from the mainland. Ossaba would be Richmond Hill’s beach.

Beautiful!
Thank you, Father, for posting this.
Wonderful to see that young lady embrace religious life.
So beautiful! So peaceful!
Where is her novitiate at? I know the Carmelites seem to be few and far between. I think there are some in Cincinnati now?
The Carmel is in Savannah and since the late 1950’s. It is cloistered but Sister was out for a month helping her father with his dying brother. She went back today.
