Three Sisters of Life professed their perpetual vows Aug. 6, at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, including Sister Elena Marie Wathen from the Catholic Diocese of Lincoln.
Originally from Louisville, Ky., the Wathen family moved to Lincoln prior to Sister Elena Marie’s freshman year of high school. She was a member of St. Peter Parish and graduated from Pius X High School. She received a bachelor’s degree in history from Hillsdale College.
