On August 11, 2007, in the context of a liturgical celebration, Sister Katy LaFond publicly proclaimed her first profession of vows of poverty, chastity and obedience as a School Sister of St. Francis (SSSF).  The liturgy was held at St. Joseph Center in Milwaukee and was attended by family, friends, colleagues, Associates and members of the SSSF religious community.

Sister Katy, originally from Waukesha, Wisconsin, is the youngest member of the United States Province which is comprised of 679 sisters. Sister Katy recently began serving as principal at Holy Trinity School in Kewaskum, Wisconsin.  She resides in Milwaukee.

“Throughout my discernment journey, I have come to realize that in order for me to love in the most authentic way, I believe strongly that I am called to live out the love of God and the love I have to give through this vowed commitment with the School Sisters of St. Francis,” Sister Katy said.
