<h1>Final Professions In Cobh</h1>
In religious life, Ordinations and Final professions are a rarity. But on Saturday the 18th of September there was double joy and celebration at the Benedictine Convent, where an enclosed order of Benedictine Sisters live at Admiralty House in Cobh, dedicated to prayer and to their vocation.&nbsp;
Bishop William Crean presided over the 2-hour ceremony as Sr Mary John of Jesus (Uwakonye), a native of Nigeria, and Sr M John the Baptist the Lamb of God (Munnelly), a native of Co Meath, made their Final Profession. Both pledged their commitment and devotion to their calling of the Lord before Bishop William and Mother Prioress, Mother Catherine and in the presence of family and invited guests.&nbsp;
Thankfully the morning was blessed by glorious sunshine, which made it ideal for the congregation to be accommodated in the specially erected marquee and an equal number on the outside, all socially distanced.&nbsp;
After the ceremony, all partook in a celebration meal with 2 congratulatory cakes topping off a memorable but all too rare occasion. The first commitment of the 2 sisters before the meal was to spend time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament in the oratory, where sisters spend the day in prayer in rotation for the needs of the faithful.&nbsp;
<h1>Many congratulations and blessings to both.</h1>
