The Solemnity of St. Joseph, March 20th, 2006, marks the 18th Anniversary of The Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará. The Solemnity was celebrated with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass presided by the Archbishop of Washington, Theodore Cardinal McCarrick at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. During the Mass, Sister Mary Mother of Sorrow made her Perpetual Vows of Poverty, Chastity, Obedience, and our Fourth Vow of Total Consecration to Mary. As part of the ceremony, she prostrated on the floor during the sung Litany of the Saints, received her gold wedding band from the hands of Cardinal McCarrick, and was crowned with flowers as symbol of her Espousal with Jesus Christ.

Sisters Maria Ina Namin and Maria Jerosolimitana renewed their Temporal Vows and a novice received her habit and her new religious name: Sister Mary Virgin of Humility. The celebration concluded with a reception at St. John the Baptist de La Salle Catholic Church in Chillum, MD.
