More Sisters take the habit in Africa

Following up on the initial report made in April on the establishment of the Missionary Sisters of Jesus and Mary, we joyfully present some pictures of a recent habit-taking ceremony that occurred on October 3rd at Our Lady of Angels Novitiate in Nairobi, Kenya.

Fr. Philippe Pazat was the celebrant for the ceremony, which took place during a High Mass.

Also shown are some pictures from the sisters' retreat held in September

News and images contribution from Fr. Loic Duverger.
