Meet Our Norbertine Sisters

In January 2019, St. John the Baptist Parish happily welcomed Norbertine sisters to our community.  The sisters have turned the parish convent into their home and are joyfully engaged in the life of the SJB community. They help in the parish school and participate in various events. They sing Morning Prayer in church with the parish’s Norbertine priests, attend daily mass, and return for afternoon Holy Hour, which is followed by Vespers. They are also establishing new ministries, such as a prayer group for the school’s 4th to 7th graders, called Parate Viam, which meets once a week and has grown to include some 40 students. Most recently they began a monthly Bible Sharing group for young women ages 18 to 30. 

Currently in residence at the parish are:  Sr. Adriana Gacikova, S.Praem., Sr. Desiree Falcon, Sr. Nikki Dinh, Sr. Phoebe Huang, Sr. Hermana, S.Praem., Sr. Gemma Hugoboom, S.Praem.
