SISTERS
GREGORY MARCANTEL says about his daughter’s investiture day: “The emotion of that parting was very intense, ” with “love, pride, and more than a little sorrow.” It was hard for him that Angelique—a CPA— would not be joining his accounting practice as he had dreamed.

Starting life as a Catholic sister is a big change: for the newly minted sister and her family too! When Angelique Joy Marcantel entered religious life, her family saw her off with a mix of emotions and camera in hand.

“
HE FIRST STEP is the hardest of all,” so the saying goes. And many times that sentiment rings true for men and women considering religious life. Taking the plunge can be difficult, for them and for their families, who know their relationship with their loved ones won’t ever be the same.
