Elizabeth Black, principal of St. Stephen Catholic School in E. Grand Rapids, was consecrated according to the Rite of the Consecration of Virgins Living in the World by Bishop David Walkowiak during a Mass on Sunday, Aug. 8, 2021 at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew in Grand Rapids. This vocation is for the whole Church, and all the faithful of the diocese were invited to attend.
This ancient vocation, the vocation of Roman martyrs Agnes and Lucy, among others, is a mystical espousal to Christ and a visible reminder of the union that we are all called to live with Christ in heaven. The virgin is consecrated in a solemn rite by the bishop of the diocese, and she is an image of the Church’s single-hearted love for Jesus. During the rite, the virgin receives a wedding ring as the symbol of her vocation.

Craft beer bar in the centre of the town that is home to the Vocation Brewery that was started in 2015. The brewery has come on by leaps and bounds to the extent that my local Tesco in Devon regularly has three or four of the brewery cans to offer discerning drinkers.
