A Partnership of Grace: Academy to Welcome Consoling Sisters' Novitiate
Students learning about the history and mission of the Consoling Sisters
The Consoling Sisters of the Sacred Heart have been gifted five acres of land east of our school to use as the location of their first U.S. novitiate.
The Consoling Sisters have experienced explosive growth in the past few years. They currently only have one novitiate, located in Narni, Italy. Because their novitiate is overflowing and also because there is a lot of interest in the Consoling Sisters among American girls, they have decided to open a second novitiate here in Watkins, Colorado.
Their goal is to construct the novitiate in time for the 2027-2028 academic year. While the primary focus of the professed sisters will be to form the postulants and the novices in the religious life, they will also be able to dedicate time to our parish and school.
This is an immense grace for us at Our Lady Help of Christians Academy, a grace that will bring many, many blessings over the years. We must pray for the success of this project and already thank God for His great generosity to us!
