Sister Janice Otis of Pocatello, Idaho, and Sister Francine Cardew of Bridal Veil, Oregon, celebrated 50 years of religious vows this year. Both Sisters began their vowed life as Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration and in 1973 became Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist. Representing some of the first generation of women to join the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, three Sisters celebrated their 25th jubilee of vows this year. They include Sister JoAnn Seraffino of Lowell, Michigan, Sister Agnese Hutchinson of Assisi, Italy and Sister Mary Paul Moller of Pocatello, Idaho.
