Why I Am Professing Vows as an IHM Sister
By Sister Julie | May 7, 2008
As promised, I took a couple little videos (I don’t have a real video camera, just the one on my digital camera) so that I could share with you some of the profession ceremony of Sister Katherine Collard, IHM.
In this video, Katherine responds to Sister Mary Fran Gilleran, IHM President, who asks Katherine to speak to her desire to become an IHM Sister.
Powerful and beautiful.

She’s a really good speaker, her voice wasn’t even quivering! Did you profess your final vows already Sister? I can’t remember if you told us.
Thanks for sharing!

Yes, I professed final vows in February 2006. It too was a fabulous day!

There is nothing more affirming than a final profession of vows. I know that I was so excited to formalize the commitment I had made long ago to Jesus. I remember when the archbishop put the ring on my finger I was so overwhelmed. But then my tears of joy turned into giggles when I had to encourage him, “Push! It *does* fit.”
