Holy Childhood Sisters

Sr. Faith Myende made her Final Profession at the beginning of December. Together with her, Sr. Bongiwe Xulu celebrated her Silver Jubilee in her home parish of St. Joseph Mission in Mbongolwane.

Giving back to less fortunate children: Following the idea of a six-year-old learner at Holy Childhood School, the Grade R class of 2021 collected toys and other items from their homes to give to St. Joseph CYCC children as a sign of their love and care.

The Holy Childhood School has decided to open a Grade 000 as there is a vacant space and a need which will set a good foundation for little ones before they begin formal schooling.

The civil unrest in KwaZulu-Natal and other South African provinces deeply affected the whole country. At the same time, the Holy Childhood Sister’s projects in South Africa faced great challenges – especially the children’s home St. Joseph CYCC in Mbongolwane.

Sr. Rose has spent 56 years in South Africa. Now she has left the Region of St. Clare and returned back to Germany.

Sr. Maria made her perpetual profession in St. Benedict Cathedral on June 26th. She vowed to dedicate her life to God and the community of the Servants of the Holy Childhood of Jesus in the presence of the Church.

In the midst of the Covid 19 restrictions it was possible for the Region of St. Clare to celebrate the Jubilees of three Sisters.

For six years, a development worker from Germany supported our children’s home St. Joseph CYCC and the Holy Childhood Convent in South Africa. Management and staff are very sad to see her contract ending.

Sisters and friends gathered together to show love to Sr. Fidelis on her special day.

In April, 16 careworkers from St. Joseph CYCC celebrated their graduation. All of them passed their exams – a huge success not only for themselves, but also for the Holy Childhood Sisters and their children’s home in Mbongolwane.
