Francis entered our novitiate in Boston, USA. and made Profession there in 1962. She was young woman, in a foreign country, who courageously took the step of dedicating her life to God and who would travel throughout many parts of Africa making His love known. Francis trained in Ireland as a nurse and midwife before embarking on her first mission to Muthale Hospital, in Kenya.
Later appointments included Ethiopia, where she mastered a difficult language, gave great care and generosity to the local people, who came to truly love her. Francis had a gift of starting pioneer ventures with Francis motto “Thy will be done” was lived out in Uganda, Zimbabwe and Ireland, in tremendous service to all. A celebratory meal followed the liturgy among family and friends who had travelled many miles to be with a beautiful and inspiring woman on her special day of thanksgiving and rejoicing as the photographs illustrate.
