BEHOLD THE NEWEST BRIDES : Sr. Theresa Pius Ibanga, O.P. and Sr. FaithMary Ahemen Nor, O.P.

The Bishop of Makurdi Diocese, Most Rev. Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe, CMF, Priests, Religious, and Lay faithful gathered on the 19th of April 2022 for this noble ceremony which took place at Dominican Sisters Novitiate, Yakyor, Benue state.

During the homily, the Bishop stressed the importance of the first step of everything or mission. He said it is more important than the last because, without making the First Profession, there will be no Final Profession; just as without the Sacrament of Baptism, one cannot receive other sacraments in the Church. He thus congratulated the sisters for taking this bold step of making the First Profession and prayed that they persevere in their choice.

The two sisters professed the Vow of Obedience following the constitutions of the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena, Nigeria. The Prioress General, Sr Justina Nnajiofor, O.P. received their Vows.

The family members of the sisters who made their First Profession were also present at the occasion.

We wish our sisters a fruitful and fulfilling service in the Lord's vineyard.
