After six months as a postulant – a very satisfactory one – Monsignor needed further proof. Her time was extended by another few months. Her next period should have been another year, but it became almost two. Her profession was put off but she accepted the delay and placed everything in the hands of God. On September 8, 1890, she pronounced her vows. Two weeks later when her family could be present, the taking of the veil was scheduled.
