A full pictorial record of the ceremonies is available here. The Most Reverend Dr. Luciano Giovannetti, Bishop of Fesiole performed the ceremony and celebrated Pontifical High Mass.
It is traditional for the future bride of Christ to come to the ceremony attired as any bride and sometimes accompanied by her father, or, in this case, her brother, to the ceremony.
The Holy Ghost is invoked by the hymn Veni Creator Spiritus.
The putitative novice must express her free desire to be received as a novice.
The ceremony of tonsure is performed as a sign of the abandonment of the world and an old life in the world.
The habit of a novice is imposed.
The Sisters Adorers of the Royal Heart of Jesus gather with their new sister and the Bishop of Fesiole after the ceremony. A remarkable gathering a mere five years after the first Sisters Adorers were professed.

This is absolutely beautiful-- thank you so much for sharing. This sign of a woman giving her life entirely to God's service is an inspiration for us all.
Sister Alexandra of the Holy Face is now professed nun and her apostolate is in the Maria Engelport Convent, in Germany (she speaks French and German). God bless!
