Witnessing to religious life
Students at Carondelet High School in Concord witnessed
40 Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet renewing their vows during a special
assembly, March 11, in the school auditorium. The ceremony was part of
the school’s observance of the feast of St. Joseph. The celebration
included a brief historical narrative of the Sisters, prayer, and a dance
performance by a group of students.
The participating Sisters serve in schools, parishes, social service agencies,
and other ministries in the San Francisco Bay Area. Among those renewing
their vows were Sisters observing special milestones in the community,
including Sister Dorothy Elaine Stack, a golden jubilarian, of Berkeley.
