On the 22nd of May,2020; six associates of Notre Dame de Namur, Nigeria-Enugu State made their final commitments while two renewed their commitments as Associates of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Mr. Christopher Ozougwu, one of the six who made his final commitment has been working with the Sisters in the unit for over 25years. The ceremony took place at Awkunanaw community’s chapel in Enugu State. Due to the Covid -19 pandemic, many sisters in the zone could not join in the celebration.
However, Sr. Monica Umeh, a member of the Leadership Team, sisters Dorothy Chime and Rita Obiefule, the unit and zonal coordinator of the associates, two sisters from Ugwuomunike community and sisters in Awkunanaw community were present. There was no celebration after the mass due to the present situation. In a cheerful atmosphere, the Associates, Sisters and the priest joyfully took some group photographs. It was a great day!
