| Our Mission We, the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon, share in the mission of Jesus by proclaiming the Good News of God’s love. |
Dear Friends, Family, Sisters and Brothers,
Welcome to autumn, back to school, and the harvest season. Our Sisters celebrated the feast day of the Assumption of Mary on Aug. 15. On this happy day, Sr. Thanh Pham made her Perpetual Profession of Religious Vows. The sacredness of this day is profound. Each SSMO Sister recalls the day when she publicly professed to God the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience forever.
We are delighted to announce that Sr. Thanh Pham professed her Perpetual Vows on Aug. 15 – the feast day of the Assumption of Mary. Surrounded by her Sisters in Community, family and friends, Sr. Thanh has followed in the footsteps of many SSMOs before her, responding to the call of the Holy Spirit with devotion and dedication. Join us in celebrating this joyous occasion and praying for Sr. Thanh as she embarks on this lifelong path of faith and service.
