As a young sister it is a distinct privilege for me to work to work with the Young Adults of the parish. This group has taught me life’s lesson and patience and I am truly grateful.

In May 2019 hundreds of people all over the Diocese of Eshowe embarked on a spiritual journey to Fatima. Every year, the pilgrims honour Mother Mary and praise and worship God for all He has done.

We asked one of the workers at Holy Childhood School about her thoughts about being speechless. This is what she thinks.

Sr. Elkana came to South Africa almost 60 years ago. Now she returned to Germany for good – and left the Region of St. Clare where she will always have a place in the heart of her fellow sisters.

For the first time in our Region all the co-workers came together for a meeting to hear about our charism and to share their experiences with the sisters.

We are happy that we have made a fresh start in connecting the Holy Childhood School and St. Joseph CYCC. School children have donated food for our Children’s home in Mbongolwane.

The beginning of a vowed life journey: Sr. Mary Faith recently made her first vows. On this day she freely proclaimed to live a life of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience.

The Holy Childhood School in Eshowe, South Africa, was founded by our Sisters a long time ago. They ran it for almost half a century, before some responsibility was given to lay people. Today, the sisters still have a strong link to the school.

It was a heartfelt moment to witness the reception of a young lady into the Novitiate. who feels very favoured by God for all that he has bestowed on her in her life.
