Both are teachers who will take what they learned back to their respective Holy Child schools in Nigeria. Sister Justina is at Holy Child Model School and Sister Genevieve at Holy Child College, which is celebrating 70 years this year. The internship is a first for Mayfield Junior School.

On the way from Nigeria to California, the two stopped in the Provincial offices in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, where they attended a pergola blessing and met with the sisters who live at the Holy Child Center.

Getting to know some of the Society’s retired members there “is a dream come true,” Sister Genevieve said. Those who had worked so long “doing for God” are now “being for God” in their prayer, reflection and volunteering ministries, she said.

And that “makes me make the best of my time as a young person to serve God and humanity.”
