Theresa McGinn (on the right), accompanied by Sister Clarice Korger, vocation director (on the left), knocked at the front door of Sacred Heart Monastery, Yankton, and was welcomed by Sister Maribeth Wentzlaff, prioress (in the center), and the community.
McGinn was received into Sacred Heart Monastery as a postulant recently.
After Theresa symbolically knocked on the front door of the Monastery, Sister Maribeth Wentzlaff asked, “What do you seek?” to which McGinn responded, “I want to live in love and service of God with the help of this community.”
The monastic community affirmed her request.
McGinn is a former elementary teacher.
While discerning her call, Theresa found the Yankton Benedictine’s Residential Volunteer Program, a program designed to provide single women (without dependents) with an opportunity to discern new directions in life.
