Sr. Hilda Kleiman Professes Perpetual Vows at Queen of Angels Monastery
Sr. Hilda Kleiman, OSB made her perpetual monastic profession during the celebration of the Eucharist on Sunday, April 27, 2008 at Queen of Angels Monastery here. Standing before the assembly and the sisters of her community, Sr. Hilda promised obedience, stability and fidelity to the monastic life. The 31-year old woman, formerly known as Sr. Alicia, took the name of Hilda after St. Hilda of Whitby, who was a Benedictine abbess of the seventh century.
Sr. Donna Marie Chartraw, prioress, welcomed Sr. Hilda as a perpetually-professed member. "The sisters of Queen of Angels Monastery are happy to receive Sr. Hilda as a permanent member of our community. She brings many talents, especially in the literary field, and a generous spirit to our Benedictine life of prayer and service. And we, in turn, hope to support her and encourage perseverance in answering God's call." more >
