My name is Sister Veronica and I am a Novice. A Novice is the second step in the process of becoming a Roman Catholic Sister.  I am now a Sister, and a member of the community. For more detailed information about the Novitiate, here is the description of one in our active Franciscan community. (http://www.franciscansisterspeoria.org/novitiate.htm)

 First, I should start by saying a little about myself. I am a CT and MRI Technologist by trade and have been working in the field for 5 years.  I am a convert of 9 years. While at college I started asking those existential questions, and through that intellectual search, God led me home to the Catholic Church. Since my conversion, I realized the desire of my heart is to offer my life to Him in its totality. After visiting this Franciscan community, I have come to know that this is where He has been leading me for so long. I am now at home.
