Part Two- Bishop Patricia Fresen Catching Stories
-
- Society & Culture
The light of the ordination makes the patterns that inevitably led there, very clear. Patricia served the Church and her people as a Dominican teaching sister for 44 years. In this time she studied Philosophy at Potch University. This opened the door to studying Theology in Rome. Here she experienced the first intimation of her calling, when a dying seminarian from South Africa asked her, and no-one else, to anoint him.
In this second podcast, the preparation is completed, and her ordination takes place. At great cost to her position in the Church, and her whole way of living. This is the story of a pioneer, risking everything, journeying through uncharted territory, opening a path for those coming after her. Utterly content, through all the upheaval and change, that she has found her calling.
