On February 2, 2024, the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, the religious profession of vows was held at the novitiate in Uganda. In the presence of the Superior General Emiliana and in the presence of sisters working in Africa, priests, and local people, during the Mass celebrated by Salesian Fr Pierre Celestine, two novices professed their first vows and rejoiced in the birth of the first African members of the Congregation. 

Congregation of Caritas Sisters of Jesus entered South Sudan in 2011, and the missionaries, along with the people, fled the civil war and lived a life of refuge in Uganda. While continuing their apostolate there, a house of formation was opened in Uganda in 2019 and began the formation for women who aspire to religious life. 

Please pray for our novices, postulants, and aspirants who are being trained as apostles of the love of Jesus' heart for mission, education, and welfare activities in Africa.
