I finally was able to get some pictures from the entrance of the novitiate this year. Here they are.

These are all the Candidates who entered, praying before the ceremony.
Scapular medals that the novices wear throughout the two year novitiate(as we have a Carmelite spirituality, we place our selves under the protection of Our Lady of Mount Carmel from the beginning of our religious life), the belts, symbolizing the rule of the Servant Sisters and the tip of the white habit they are about to take and wear for the rest of their life.
Emma, now Sister Emma or Hermana Emma as we say in Spanish, kissing her habit right after receiving it from Father Rafael, our founder.
The new novices!

So beautiful!
