In a Solemn Mass in the presence of a Bishop, Sr. Kiana Nava was clothed in the religious habit. She attended Mass in the presence of all of her sisters from the Ava convent. Three other postulants were clothed alongside her; also, two sisters made their first profession. The postulants being clothed began Mass in a wedding dress and veil; at the end of Mass, the bishop clothed them in the habit, belt, scapular, and wimple. Then he gave to them their religious name. Sr. Kiana was named Sr. Leonie, after St. Leo the Great.
