On February 11, 2026, on the memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lourdes, at the Marian shrine of Mbalmayo, Sister Maria Benedicta makes her first vows. After a beautiful and intense preparation in the novitiate, she expresses her joyful self-gift to the Lord for the cause of peace. Her mother and two sisters, who came from Kumbo, a war zone in north-western Cameroon, took part in the rite and enthusiastically confirmed that their daughter and sister has truly entered a Marian family. After the moving celebration, a lunch was offered for all the guests: the Marian youth of Cameroon, the village youth choir, and all the religious and friends who gathered for the feast. Mary is preparing her “army of peace” for this restless and suffering world. To her be all glory and thanksgiving!
