On Sunday November 21 Olivia Lukaszewicz, from Adelaide, South Australia will receive the dress of a Schoenstatt Sister of Mary in Schoenstatt Germany.
Olivia travelled to Germany at the end of 2020 for a period of Candidacy and on May 1 began her postulancy with other young women from various countries. The novitiate, a period of two years which begins with the solemn reception into the community, began on November 1.
The celebration on November 21 will be live-streamed, allowing Olivia’s parents and brother to be ‘virtually’ with her for this special occasion.
A very special event of Olivia’s time as a postulant was when she entered into the Covenant of Love on Schoenstatt’s Foundation Day, 18th October. Together with two other people she was blessed to seal this Covenant in the Original Shrine during the celebration of the German Schoenstatt Family. In the photos we see her receiving the covenant medal and signing the Covenant Book in the Original Shrine. Some of us in NSW braved getting up at 1am on 19 October to be spiritually with Olivia and witness the occasion. Welcome to the Family, Olivia!!
We wish Olivia many and rich graces and blessing for the two-year time of her Novitiate and will look forward to when she can return to Australia and join our sisters here in our service to the Australian Schoenstatt Family.
