First Profession of Vows - Sister Natalie Sayde

On the March 19, the feast of Saint Joseph, Sister Natalie Sayde Salameh joyfully made her First Profession of Vows as a Maronite Servant of Christ the Light at Saint Anthony of the Desert Church in Fall River MA. What a festive and uplifiting celebration for all in attendance, family and friends coming from near and far! Sister’s parents Joe and Wendy, and her two brothers Peter & Malcom came from Sydney Australia to witness this beautiful milestone of Sr. Natalie Sayde laying down her life and consecrating herself to God as a Maronite Servant in the vows of obedience, chastity and poverty.

His Excellency Bishop Gregory Mansour was the principle celebrant of the Divine Liturgy with nearly twenty priests, deacons and subdeacons concelebrating from the various Maronite and local Roman Catholic parishes. We were also blessed to have other communities of religious (the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, the Missionaries of Charity, the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, and the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation) join us for the Profession Liturgy and reception, which immediately followed the Liturgy.

We give thanks to God for Sister Natalies Sayde’s vocation and consecration. Thank you for all your support, prayers, love and best wishes. Please continue to join us in praying for more vocations to our Maronite Servant community. Share our website with other women who may be open to considering a vocation www.maroniteservants.org.
