Young women embrace religious life as nuns, balancing faith and family ties

Credited from: SCMP

  • Sister Seyram Mary Adzokpa, originally from Ghana, felt a spiritual pull towards being a nun while in a Texas Walmart with her mother.
  • Despite initially planning for marriage and a family, Adzokpa discovered her calling during the Covid-19 pandemic while working as a nurse.
  • Adzokpa joined the Sisters of the Holy Family in New Orleans, overcoming fears of disappointing her immigrant family to embrace her religious life.
  • Zoey Stapleton, at 24, faced challenges in leaving her family but found peace in her decision to join the Franciscan Sisters, T.O.R. in Ohio.
  • Notably, young women entering religious life remain a small fraction, with less than one percent of nuns in the US being aged 30 or younger.
