On the 8th July, Sr. Maria celebrated 25 years of religious profession as a Bernardine Cistercian sister. The Mass was celebrated at Hyning in the afternoon, followed by a buffet lunch. Her family and friends were present to celebrate with the community. The main celebrant was her brother, Fr. Joseph and the homily was given by Fr. John McGowan, OCD. Here are some photos of the wonderful celebrations of the day.
“The radical gift of oneself to God, loved and served for Himself alone, listening to His Word, and a humble attentiveness to His presence in all human beings and in events, are the characteristics of this life; its sole aim is the search for God, lived out in Community.”
