Journeying with African women interested in joining our Community is one of hundreds of ways in which Medical Mission Sisters around the world try to be a healing presence to others today.

For the past six years, Ghanaian Sister Edith Dug-yi has been serving as our Formation Coordinator in Africa. She works with women in our Candidacy Program in Nairobi, Kenya. Sister Edith says, “Formation for me is one of the pillars of the Society which fosters its continuity into the future. Therefore, I see the need to give my best to it as my commitment to bringing the Society’s healing charism and mission into the future.”

“The meaning this ministry holds for me is that it is a call to be open to embrace surprises. It is a call to patience and humility and, indeed, it is a call to transformation,” she adds. “It is a joy to see people grow and blossom after going through resistance, struggles of letting go, and healing, whether they remain as Medical Mission Sisters or move on with their lives.”
