A long journey for Sr. Louisa has come to a new beginning! Hearing the Father’s call to be a clear and radiant witness of God’s plan of love for the salvation of the world, Sr. Louisa entered the Monastery of St. Alphonsus in Liguori, MO where made her formation. As time evolved and the numbers in community lessened, Sr. Louisa Olmo made the bold decision to join the Redemptoristine community in Dublin, Ireland, accompanied by Sr. Ann Marie Gool, OSsR.
On August 19, 2023, Sr. Maria Paz Suarez and Sr. Moira
Quinn from the Redemptoristine community in Beacon, NY, were privileged to
witness Sr. Louisa’s Solemn Profession along with her new community, family and
friends. To perfect in herself this
union with Christ her Redeemer, begun in Baptism, she made her vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience for the redemption of humanity, trusting in the mercy
of God and the
maternal help of Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
The rejoicing continued after Mass with a delicious,
festive, five-course meal (potatoes three ways – it’s Ireland!) with all the
guests. Sr. Louisa and Prioress,
were all smiles as they cut the cake.
Afterwards, the Americans: Sister M. Paz, Moira, Deirdre (who began her formation also in Liguori and now resides in Dublin), and Ann Marie posed for a photo with the Sr. Louisa.
It was a joy to celebrate this new beginning with Sr. Louisa. May she remain faithful to her covenant all the days of her life and may her light ever shine.
