S. Annie Klapheke Professes Perpetual Vows

Congratulations to Sister of Charity of Cincinnati Annie Klapheke, who professed perpetual vows during a Mass on Saturday, May 7, 2022 in the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception at the Mount St. Joseph Motherhouse. In the presence of Community members, close friends and family, S. Annie vowed to “freely commit myself for life to the service of God and God’s people as a member of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. … I ask the continuing grace of God and the support of my Sisters, Associates, family, and friends, that I may keep faith with the commitment I freely and joyfully make today.”

In addition, during the liturgy the Community gave thanks for S. Tracy Kemme. S. Tracy professed her final vows in July 2020, during some of the most restrictive days of the pandemic. Both Sisters Annie and Tracy were excited to have the opportunity to gather and celebrate together.

"The greater the work the more
important it is to establish it on
a solid foundation. Thus it will
not only be more perfect; it
will also be more lasting.”

“Friendship has the skill and
observation of the best physician,
the diligence and vigilance of the
best nurse and the tenderness
and patience of the best mother.”
