A chance to reflect on consecrated life

Most of us would have heard the voices – sometimes they are our own – that wonder and ask: Why are there not as many Religious anymore? Why can’t I recognise them as in the past? Why don’t they live in big groups…or dress the same way as I remember them…or as we see them in the movies? Why is there such change and differences between each group?

Sr Ratana ready for next challenge

Since heeding the call of God in a leprosarium in Thailand, Sr Ratana Sriwarakul DC has always been prepared to serve where the need is greatest. After recently joining the small Daughters of Charity community in Adelaide, she shared her story with JENNY BRINKWORTH.
