Show Notes

Sr Damian is celebrating 60 years of faith and service with the Sisters of St Paul de Chartres Australia. Her journey embodies the congregation's mission to serving through education, healthcare, and pastoral care, living out Vatican II's call to universal holiness. We give thanks for her faithful witness and pray her example inspires others to be living witnesses of the Gospel. May Our Lady's intercession guide Sr Damian as she continues to be "all things to all people" in the spirit of St Paul.
