Nota Bene: discerning with the Nashville Dominicans
By BC Catholic Staff
Two women from the Archdiocese of Vancouver have begun their novitiate with the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia in Nashville, Tennessee.
On Aug. 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption, Joyce Baniqued, a parishioner from St. Matthew’s in Surrey, took the religious name Sister Augustine, and Teaya Cabael, a parishioner of St. Patrick’s Parish in Vancouver, took the name Sister Matthea.
The Nashville Dominicans also serve in the Archdiocese of Vancouver, teaching in local Catholic schools and serving at the John Paul II Pastoral Centre.
