On December 14, 2025, we joyfully celebrated the commitment of six new associate ministers in Louisiana. Sisters Mary Catherine Redmond and Laura Urbano, along with Dr. Donaldo Batiste, director of associate ministers for Louisiana, shared in these beautiful moments of faith and mission.
At St. Lucy’s Church in Houma, we welcomed Angela Calloway and Ambrose Nixon Jr. at the conclusion of Mass. The celebration then continued at St. Luke’s in Thibodaux, where Pearlette Carter, Felicia Marie Lee, Christine Streams and Wilma McCaskill of New Orleans were received during Mass, followed by a joyful reception.
Both celebrations were uplifting and inspiring, and the day concluded with a luncheon in Thibodaux that brought together new and seasoned associate ministers in a spirit of community and gratitude.
Our associate ministers in Louisiana are truly on fire with the charism of Nano Nagle and the mission of the Presentation Sisters.
