On Friday, June 30, 2007, the Racine Dominican Community celebrated the Rite of Reception into the Novitiate for Chris Broslavick.  During the ceremony Chris responded, "in the spirit of St. Dominic, Catherine of Siena and Mother Benedicta Bauer, the foundress of our community, I ask that I may continue to walk in the company of the Sisters of this Racine Dominican Congregation." 

During her two years in the novitiate Chris will have opportunities to become better acquainted with the Dominican Community, to continue her studies and to do ministry and apostolic service before she makes her temporary profession of vows.

Chris was born in Iron River, Michigan and worked as a teacher, principal and an education consultant with the Diocese of Green Bay.  Her husband died several years ago.  In October of 2005, she began her time of candidacy with the Dominican Sisters.  Chris is studying Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in Racine.
