Bishop Earl Boyea presided at the Mass celebrating the final profession of vows for eight Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist at their motherhouse in Ann Arbor on July 22, the feast of Mary Magdalene, apostle to the apostles.

The Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist were founded in 1997 in response to St. John Paul II’s vision for a New Evangelization. The community has grown from four foundresses to more than 140 sisters from 34 U.S. states and Canada.
