The Congregation of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Service today held a solemn ceremony at the Civic Centre, Mufulira, where five candidates for Final Profession signed the Declaration of Renunciation of Temporal Goods.
The declarations were made ahead of their Final Vows, which is in accordance with Constitution Chapter 11, 16, and Code of Canon Law 702, 1,2.

In her remarks, Mrs. Musongole commended the candidates for their courage and faith, noting that such a solemn commitment reflects values of selflessness, discipline, and service to humanity that are vital to community development.
The Superior General and members of the Congregation present expressed gratitude to all stakeholders and to the community for their continued support to the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Service.
