MANITOWOC, Wisconsin. Sister Catherine Peter Logan made her first profession of vows in the Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, on June 2. Father Mark Vander Steeg, Vicar for Clergy and Pastoral Leaders for the Diocese of Green Bay, presided at the Mass.

I was ordained a priest on Dec. 18, 1976.  It was the most precious Christmas gift I have ever received. For me, it culminated 13½ years of priestly formation: that is, personal and spiritual growth, academic study, and field education. I was blessed to have good teachers and mentors. I am still friends today with many of the men who were in the seminary with me, both ordained and lay. Some of them have been sixty years a friend.
