On October 7, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, Sr. Sophia of the Holy Eucharist, OSB (Gina Marie Eid ’08), will make her solemn vows as a member of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, in Gower, Missouri. Per their community’s custom, Sr. Sophia and a fellow soon-to-be-professed nun, Sr. Margaret Mary of the Hidden Life, have composed a litany of saintly intercessors, which they ask friends to pray in the nine days leading up to their professions:
