lyrics

Becoming a Salesian Sister

I started my prep in Henley-on-Thames
With 40 novitiates who would become friends
We learned latin, Italian and English in class
We read poems and learned lyrics for our choir in four parts
One day Mother L took me off the top shelf
Put me to work in the kitchen to humble myself
But there I shined bright and received a big clap
The banana fritters were the best they had had.

Becoming a Salesian Sister
Becoming a Salesian Sister
Two years of study flew right on by
My reports went to Rome. I prayed and I tried
When I went to hear of the results of my work
I thought I had failed but they were playing a joke
So happy I was, on the path to profession
I would become a sister, there would be a procession!
My family came to mark the occasion
I donned my habit. I would start my vocation.

Becoming a Salesian Sister
Becoming a Salesian Sister

I had returned to Ireland for a number of years
When my Mistress of Novices came to see me
I had taken in youths who needed some guidance
Education and life skills for them I provided
I thanked this dear soul for her belief in my work
She embraced me and kissed me and said of my worth:

She said I was a great person indeed
Helping these youngsters, these children in need.

Becoming a Salesian Sister
