The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth are celebrating 25 years of ministry in Botswana, marking a mission that began in 2000 with a warm welcome from the Church and local communities.
On Sept. 7, 2000, Sisters Sarita Manavalan and Ann Muthukattil arrived in Molepolole, followed by Sisters Angela Hicks, Pat Huitt, and Nalini Meachariyill. Later that year, in the chapel at Molepolole, they were formally commissioned for service. Sisters Angela, Nalini and Sarita began their work in Jwaneng, while Sisters Ann and Pat continued to Kanye.
For a quarter-century, the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth have served the people of Botswana through education, pastoral care and community outreach. Their ministry continues to grow in faith and service.
