Following Christ’s Call to Love Generously

Posted on November 8, 2023

Following Christ’s Call to Love Generously: First Profession Celebrations in Beaver Falls, PA

 

The celebration of Sister Catherine Marie-Elizabeth Rotterman’s first religious profession began the evening of October 28, 2023. The local community prayed Solemn Vespers, with Sister Christina Conroy offering a reflection after the readings. The traditional recitation of the Litany of Loreto followed the liturgy.

The quiet joy from Solemn Vespers overflowed into the next day – Sunday, October 29. The chilly, rainy weather could not put a damper on the spirit of everyone gathered for the Mass of First Religious Profession for Sister Catherine. Thirty-some people (including Felician sisters, family, and friends) squeezed into the chapel with many others joining the Mass via Zoom thanks to the expertise of Sister Francis Lewandowski and Alan Peters.

Father William Schwartz, house chaplain, was the celebrant for the Mass, assisted by Deacon Marc Leaderstorf of the Diocese of Buffalo, family friend and diaconate classmate of Sister Catherine’s recently deceased father Deacon David.

    My last living salary full-time employment was terminated early 2021 after being partially disabled due to being rear-ended in 2019 car accident. This has left me supporting my family of three without steady income flow and with mounting medical costs in treatments and recovery.

    Additionally, my wife and daughter were hit by another car recently at night September 14, 2023, increasing our medical costs. Thankfully, the airbags saved their lives. My life has been a testimony of seeing the reality of I Corinthians 15:58 displayed in thousands of lives and witnesses, largely due to my parent’s faithful testimony and character as they pastored numerous churches and camping ministries.

    I am very grateful for this platform and the ability for believers to respond as prompted in God’s love. All I ask for is your prayers and support – when you get a minute, please take a look at what I’ve setup here – https://cutt.ly/KwYhjk5l

    Thank you.

Angela, you were moved by the plight of neglected children, women, the sick, the homeless, the aged, the illiterate, immigrants, victims of war, and all who did not know the love and mercy of God, Pray for these people in our world today.
