Sister Gloria takes lifelong vows, 10 May 2020.
Sister Gloria was a nurse and Lay Chaplain in Canberra and Hobart. She had been connected to the Community since 1998 when she was made an Oblate.
Gloria felt a very strong call from God to join the Community following the death of her husband Owen and tried out the Religious Life initially as an Alongsider in 2013 and 2014. She was professed in Triennial vows on the 24 August 2017 and her lifelong vows on 10 May 2020. On 12 October 2020, she lost her battle to cancer.
God’s call to Gloria was not for her works but her being; not for her gifts but for herself and that is what she gave.
