As Mother Felicitas Bradley, of Charlotte Street fame, was celebrating the seventieth anniversary of her profession here in Scotland, a very youthful Sister Francisca Kimetto was making her First Profession in Kenya.

The celebration was a very joyous one, full of music and dancing and the Mass was celebrated outdoors. The celebrant was a priest from the local seminary and his homily will long be remembered for its closing comment – that all Sisters belong in one of four categories: the re-tired (i.e. tired twice); the tired; the tireless; and the tiresome! The moral was well taken!
