Religious Sisters of the Holy Spirit Celebrate the First Profession of Four Novices
By Sr. Violet Sinakaimbi, Monze Diocese Four novices from the Congregation of the Religious Sisters of the Holy Spirit made their first profession of vows during a Mass held at Charles Lwanga College Chapel on Saturday. The newly professed sisters are Grace Phiri, Mary Moondwa, Mary Ngandu, and Constridah Kayuuna. The ceremony was presided over by Bishop Raphael Mweempwa of Monze Diocese and attended by family members, friends, and fellow religious. In his homily, Fr. Gregory Mulobela, Rector of Chikuni Mission, encouraged the sisters to remain committed to Christ through a strong prayer life and deep community bonds. “This is best done through commitment to both personal and other forms of prayer,” he said. “Community life is very important, it will give you good support in your vocation.” Fr. Mulobela thanked the families of the newly professed sisters for their generosity in allowing the Sisters to pursue their vocation to religious life. He urged the newly professed Sisters to positively embrace the challenges they encountered during their formation, as they were meant to prepare them to survive in any situation without much difficulty.
