Jubilee and Profession Day 2006

The eighth of January 2006 was a remarkable and joyous day for the Sisters of the Holy Names and their families and friends. Early that morning the Province was blessed by the three Sisters who professed their first vows, Sisters Marcellina Konyana, Cecilia Matheso and Bernardette Rammoneng.


Later that day the church was packed to witness the final vows of Sisters Regina Ntisa and Constance Selialia and celebrate 50 years of religious life of Sisters M. Emmanuella and Aurelia Kabi. The most exciting part of this jubilant occasion was that Sr. Aurelia Kabi drove her new golf cart to the church amidst cheering from the Sisters who accompanied her.

The province was honoured by the presence of Bishop Hubert Bucher, Bishop of Bethlehem, who was the presider of more than 20 Priests from Lesotho and the Republic of South Africa, two Cabinet Ministers who are from Peka Village, two members of the Senate from Regina and Constance's home places respectively. There were women religious from different congregations and St. Rose Parishioners and Good Shepherd Parishioners who came to rejoice with sisters who made their first vows. Two of the new sisters came from the parish in the Mohale's Hoek District, whilst the other new Sister came from St. Ann, in Leribe District.
