Sister Taryn Stark Takes First Vows
When Sister Taryn Stark professed First Vows as a Sister of
Mercy on July 14, she came full circle on her Mercy journey.
As a young girl in 1978, she was baptized in the same Mercy
Chapel where this month she pronounced her vows of
poverty, chastity, obedience, and service to the poor, sick,
and uneducated.
“The celebration of Taryn’s first vows was
a joyful event for the entire Community,” said Sister Judith
Frikker, president of the West Midwest Community.
The profession ceremony, with presider Father Richard
Menatsi, executive director of IMBISA, Inter-Regional
Meeting of the Bishops of Southern Africa, included others important to Taryn’s entrance of religious life:
novitiate minister Sister Rayleen Giannotti, long-time family friends Sisters Barbara Cavanaugh and Rose
Davis, and witnesses Sister Cindy Kaye and Sister Genemarie Beegan.
