FOREST CITY — Sister Regina Walker made her first (private) vows Oct. 31 during the Vigil Mass of All Saints at Immaculate Conception Church in Forest City before its pastor, Father Herbert Burke.
She promised to live Stability, Conversion of Life and Obedience according to the Rule of St. Benedict and the monastic life of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Peace, whose community is located in Rutherfordton.
At a reception which followed, Sister Regina spoke of her long desire to give herself totally to Christ and her strong sense of having joyfully found where God wants her to live out this gift of herself. Pictured: Sister Regina receives her new veil from Mother Gertrude, the community’s superior.
