New religious order founded in Diocese of Columbus

These days, she [Mary Jane Goffena ]wears an ankle-length white garment with a collar, a sleeved purple scapular, and a white and purple veil. A rosary hangs around her waist. Around her neck hangs a pendant of a crucifix and monstrance. Today, she is Sister Margaret Mary, foundress of the Children of Mary, a semicontemplative order formed under the guidance of Columbus Bishop James A. Griffin for women between the ages of 18 and 36, who feel called to live simply while working and praying. One of the order's missions is to promote eucharistic adoration. [This is a] new order of religious women consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Let us thank our Lord for His graces and pray for the success of this new order.
