Dio Palm BeachLocal Catholic woman entering the Salesian order
PALM BEACH GARDENS | At his inaugural Mass in 1978, Pope John Paul II laid out what would become the central message of his long and fruitful pontificate: “Be not afraid.” For Ashlie O’Brien, who has adopted St. John Paul II as her most powerful intercessor, his words are a driving force as she prepares for a major change in her life.
In August, Ashlie will enter formation in New Jersey as a Salesian sister of St. John Bosco. The first year, as an aspirant, will be at the order’s motherhouse in the Northeast, she said. That will be followed by her postulant year, which will be based at their California motherhouse. Then back to New Jersey for two years of novitiate. “Then I will, God willing, take temporary vows after four years of formation,” Ashlie said.
