We recently had the privilege of witnessing something most Catholics rarely see: two Catholic religious sisters making their final vows and giving their lives completely to Jesus. In this video, we share our experience attending the perpetual profession of two sisters from the Queenship of Mary Community in Ottawa—and what their witness taught us about religious life, sacrifice, and the call to become saints.

One of the sisters, Sr. Maryam Josephine, has been a close friend of ours for many years. When we learned that she and another sister would be making their final vows, we made the quick trip from Saskatoon to Ottawa to be there.
The Catholic religious profession was beautiful, but what stayed with us most was what these sisters were willing to give up for Jesus—and the question their witness poses to every Catholic: Is becoming a saint truly the goal of my life, and what am I willing to give up to get there?
In this video, we discuss:
• What happens when Catholic sisters make their final vows
• The beauty of a Catholic religious profession
• Why the sisters were given their baptismal candles by their parents
• What it means to give your life completely to Jesus
• The sacrifices of Catholic religious life
• The question the bishop asked the sisters: “What do you desire?”
• Why becoming a saint must be the ultimate goal of the Catholic life
• What religious sisters can teach all Catholics about detachment and following Christ
The witness of these sisters reminded us that the call to holiness isn't only for priests and religious. Whether God calls us to religious life, priesthood, marriage, or another vocation, each of us is called to give our lives to Christ and ultimately become saints.
