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
