GOLDEN AND SILVER JUBILEE
By Sr. Tryness Mulubwa
The Congregation of the Daughters of the Mary Help of Christian also known as the Salesian Sisters, celebrated the golden and silver Jubilees of three of their Sisters, who have totally dedicated their lives to the Lord by serving the souls of the young people in the missions entrusted to them.
The three Sisters are; Sr. Ryszard Piejko who was celebrating her golden Jubilee (50 years) while Sr. Florence Mulenga and Sr. Stella Chilupula celebrated their silver jubilees (25 years).
Sr. Ryszard piejko who celebrated her 50 years is a pioneer who was among the first missionary sisters who brought the Salesian way of life in Zambia.
The jubilee celebration was held at City of Hope in Makeni at Mornese Retreat Centre.
Mass was celebrated by Fr. Tresford Chisanga SDB who encouraged the Sister to begin their lives anew and to leave the 50 and 25 years behind.
In addition, Fr. Chisanga encouraged the Sisters to continue clinging to the Lord who has journeyed with them throughout their lives.
Meanwhile, Fr. Chisanga challenged the Sisters to inspire people with their lives and not to be bitter.
He said their yes should be like that of mother Mary, who never gave up on her yes despite all the challenges she went through.
