On this day when Medical Mission Sisters and Associates in Unit North America are gathering to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday together, and a turkey dinner, we are displaying a picture of what is called a radio phonograph. This gift was presented to Anna Dengel by the Dutch sisters to give thanks on the occasion when an honorary degree was awarded to her by the University of Nijmegen in The Netherlands in November 1958.
When Society Coordinator, Sister Agnes Lanfermann, and the Society Leadership Team returned from Kulmasa, Northern Ghana, where the Centenary year was launched on 30th September 2024, they recalled how joyful the inauguration of the new family clinic had been.
1968 will be remembered as a year that brought significant change within the Catholic Church after Vatican II urged, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, renewal to make it increasingly faithful to the Gospel of Christ.
The dedication, Causa Nostrae Laetitia (Cause of Our Joy), is written by hand by Anna Dengel.
