Each article will feature a day in the life of one of our sisters in Africa, focusing mostly on her ministry. In the first in this series, we feature Theresa Peter SSL, whose primary ministry is the day-to-day running of Our Lady Catholic Hospital, Iseyin, Nigeria, which includes administrative duties and nursing of patients. She also supervises outreach posts owned by the Catholic Diocese of Oyo as both the Matron and the Health Coordinator for the diocese.

31 MAR, 2022. Mother Genevieve Beale was the leader of the first Sisters of St Louis foundation in Ireland, in 1859. She was born in London on June 20, 1822, into a well-to-do Protestant family. When family fortunes failed, she moved to County Cork, Ireland, and became a governess to a Catholic family. She was deeply influenced by the faith of this family and decided to convert to Catholicism. She became an aspirant for the French novitiate of the Sisters of St Louis in 1845. In 1858 she returned to Ireland on mission to the poorest of the poor in the diocese of Clogher.
