On September 23, the feast of Padre Pio, Sister Margaret Gancarz, a consecrated lay Rogationist, renewed her temporary vows under the mediation of Rev. Fr. Matthew Folgiata, rci, her responsible. 

 

The rite was a very simple and private one which was held in the St. Hannibal Chapel attended by Sister Margaret's friend. Just before the final blessing, Sister Margaret renewed her vows and signed the contract. After the mass, there was the opportunity to take some snapshots then they proceeded for the reception.

We pray that Sister Margaret will someday be fully instituted into the consecrated life as she embarks another year of fulfilling her mission and looking forward on the day of her perpetual profession. God bless you, Sister!
