Our good God is indeed so very good! We thank God for the successful final vows, silver and diamond jubilees celebration of our sisters which took place on the 8th of August, 2020; at St. Theresa’s Catholic church, Enugu. The mass was celebrated by the bishop of Enugu Diocese. Due to the impact of Covid-19, only few of our sisters, family members of the celebrants, friends, and some parishioners were opportune to grace the ceremony. However, it was a great and memorable day.

The highpoint of the celebration was the sealing of covenant between the older members and the newly finally professed sisters. It was a solemn moment for all the sisters because they promised to support one another in the journey of making known God’s goodness. Also the moderator, Sr. Fidelis Chukwu on behalf of the Sisters of Notre Dame Nigeria province expressed gratitude to the Silver/ Diamond jubilarians for their years of dedication and active service to the mission of the Congregation, and invited them to renew their vows in the presence of all.
