“It was not until June 23rd, of the following year 1881, that we moved into the new Monastery, though the building was not yet quite complete.
A temporary Altar was put up in the community room, for the Chapel was not yet ready. Father Colaneri, accompanied by Mr. Creighton, removed the Blessed Sacrament from our Home on Burt Street to our new abode. With grateful hearts, we gathered around His Divine Presence and entreated Him to bless the dwelling and never permit His Divine Majesty to be offended in this hallowed place, either by us or any others that might come after us. Crosses and trials, of one sort or another, would still be our lot, even within the sacred precincts of a Monastery. But we also knew that He, without Whose will or permission, nothing happens, would give us ample grace to endure them patiently for love of Him.” ………….. – Mother Maddalena
