Three Peruvian sisters take their first vows
We are happy to share this news of our sisters in Peru. Amabilia Arriaga Garcia, Joana Castillo Segura, and Yovani Martinez Carbajal took their temporary profession of vows on March 19 in Lima, Peru. This step in the formation process was approved in January when Sisters Pat Eck and Rose Marie Jasinski, USA country leader, joined other leaders from Peru, France, and Ireland for congregation team meetings at the Sisters of Bon Secours Formation House in Peru. After accepting the request for the three novices to take their temporary vows, the leaders were able to share the happy news with them in person.
The three sisters started the formation process as candidates before becoming novices. The candidacy phase involved the women living with a group of Sisters of Bon Secours while learning about the methods of prayer and discovering their talents and gifts. After requesting to move to the novitiate phase, they spent two years studying the principles of religious life, learning the history of the Sisters of Bon Secours, and exploring the mysteries of Christ in the Church. They have now taken temporary vows of chastity, obedience, and poverty. During this three to six year phase, the sisters will work in a ministry and attend spiritual retreats while continuing their religious studies to prepare for their perpetual profession of vows as a Sister of Bon Secours.
We welcome these new sisters and thank them for the gifts and talents they bring to the ministries of the Sisters of Bon Secours.
