Whoever thought the "Sleeping Giant" on Kauai was just so-- sleeping, that's not true! From the Kapaa side of the Garden Island seeds of "Freedom, Charity, Education and Justice" (core values lived by the BVM Sisters) were being planted in the minds of the young children at St. Catherine's School, from more than 30 snores (years) ago. As a 5th grade student, Sr. Marcelia Maglinte (right) was so inspired by her teacher, Sr. Mary Laurice (now aka: Sr. Margaret Mollan, left) that she followed in her footsteps to become a teacher herself as a Sister of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary! Here they share a happy reunion!
What does it mean to be a BVM? How do I know if religious life is for me? How do I know "what I should be?" The question of vocation, or calling, lies at the heart of each individual. God gifts each of us in unique ways, and asks us to use our gifts in our relationships to God, oneself, others and all of God's creation. Vocation goes much deeper than a job or a career.
