Epiphany Queen

On the eve of Epiphany (January 6), as a long-standing tradition, the sisters choose a Bean Queen or Epiphany Queen. Whichever sister finds the bean/medal in her piece of cake after supper is Queen-for-a-Year and can request special things (especially free evenings and free days) for her fellow sisters. This year Sr. Mary Philomena Tisinger, a former Mother Superior, received the crown.
