Text

I have changed residence at least 20 times in my life. That has obviously had some effect on me. I like to think that unlike the proverbial rolling stone, I have gathered a lot of the moss of experience and friendship as I travelled the world. My decisions in life were all my own. I chose to enter the St. Louis Novitiate. With some help I applied for exclaustration. It was my own decision to follow this with an application for release from my vows. Sometimes I think I made a mistake in deciding not to complete my H Dip at that time, but I did it. I chose to marry Muredach when I was fortunate enough to meet him. From then on our decisions have been joint ones.
