SR. MARY’S ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
What a joy it was to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Religious Profession for Sr. Mary (front row center). Sr. Mary was born in Kenya to parents, Martin and Jane. She has three brothers and one sister. In 1989, she joined the religious life at St. Joseph of Tarbes, an international missionary congregation founded in the Diocese of Tarbes in France. She went through four years of formation, made her temporary vows on March 23rd, 1993, and took her perpetual vows on May 1st, 2000.
Throughout her life, Sr. Mary worked in different ministries including education, leadership counseling, spiritual direction, and social outreach. Her passion is to live and build communion in the Spirit of sisters of St. Joseph of Tarbes. Congratulations Sr. Mary!!
