During the months of August and September, our Institute was blessed to have 9 sisters profess perpetual vows. In “The religious life, through which we surrender ourselves totally to the service of God, wherein perfection lies, consists principally in the fulfilling of three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, driven by charity (Const. 48)”.
The sisters made their vows in the following countries: Mexico, Ecuador, Italy, and the United States.
Sr. Maria Porta Paradisi professed perpetual vows on August 21, 2021 in the parish “Our Lady of Peace” in Mexico.
Sr. María del Buen Suceso made her final vows on September 11, 2021 in “St. Louis King of France” Parish in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
On September 14, 2021, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, sisters from the Province of Italy and the United States also made their perpetual profession.
Sr. Maria di Gesù, missionary in Tanzania, and Sr. Maria della Natività, missionary in Italy professed final vows in the Basilica of “Saints Nereus and Achilleus” in Rome, Italy.
Srs. M. Corredemptrix (contemplative in Egypt), M. Altar of Sacrifice (missionary in Papua New Guinea), M. Holy Family (contemplative in Italy) and M. Mater Consecrata (missionary in the United States) made final vows at “Holy Comforter Saint Cyprian” Parish in Washington, DC, USA.
We would also like to share the article written by the Diocese of Lansing in Michigan about the perpetual profession of Sr. Mary of the Holy Family. It is titled A New Bride of Christ : Meet Sister Mary of the Holy Family Wohlfert
Sr. Mary of Jesus in the Precious Blood Monastery in Brooklyn, NY, made her final vows on September 15, 2021.
We give thanks to God for blessing our Institute with these newly perpetually professed sisters. Please pray for their perseverance and faithfulness to their vows.
