Sr. Mary Vuong Renews Vows<br />

A renewal <strong>of</strong> vows is a prophetic sign for a religious community – it is a sign<br />
<strong>of</strong> hope and a sign <strong>of</strong> growth. When a woman chooses to enter a religious congregation,<br />
she is first a candidate, then becomes a novice for two years. After<br />
this initial period <strong>of</strong> discernment, she may choose to pr<strong>of</strong>ess temporary vows<br />
for three years to continue living out religious life and discerning her vocation.<br />
She can renew her temporary vows for up to three more years before deciding<br />
whether to make perpetual vows as a <strong>Dominican</strong> Sister <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peace</strong>.<br />
Young and vibrant Sr. Mary Vuong, (pictured at left with Prioress Sr. Margaret<br />
Ormond) renewed her temporary vows for two<br />
years in the <strong>Dominican</strong> Chapel <strong>of</strong> the Plains in<br />
Great Bend in June. She had recently moved to<br />
Great Bend to begin her first ministry within the newly formed <strong>Dominican</strong><br />
<strong>Sisters</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peace</strong> as an occupational therapist at Central Kansas Medical<br />
Center. The ceremony was a joyful occasion for all!<br />
“It is exciting to renew my commitment with this new community at this<br />
particular time and place, and to be a part <strong>of</strong> the worldwide <strong>Dominican</strong><br />
Family.... It is exciting, as the poet Mary Oliver says, to live out my ‘one<br />
wild and precious life’ with faith‐filled women who live out their dreams<br />
with conviction and passion.”<br />
