Prior to the profession, the congregation of the Sisters of Mary Immaculate, SMI, in the Catholic diocese of Wa, had a week long retreat which was climaxed with the profession and Solemnity of the Assumption.

The Catholic bishop of Wa, Most Rev. Richard Kuuia Baawobr, M.Afr. was the retreat preacher for the week long retreat. He was also the main celebrant during the Eucharistic celebration.

The Superior General of the Sisters of Mary Immaculate, Sr. Christina Pogbeyir, encouraged the Sisters to allow God to feel their emptiness with His graces.

Symbolically, the Sisters were given an empty basket each, before they were presented with a Bible, Rosary and Candle.

Most Rev. Baawobr in his homily, congratulated the Sisters for taking the bold step in their religious life.
He also called on the religious to help mentor the youth who are discerning their vocation.

Some priests, religious brothers and sister, opinion leaders, lay faithful, within and outside the diocese of Wa, were also there to grace the occasion.
