Lead image Sister Demetria Smith reflects with joy on her 70 years of serving in Uganda, the U.S.

At 92, Sister Demetria Smith is the embodiment of gentleness and joy. Those qualities shined on Aug. 17 during a Mass at St. Augustine Home for the Aged in Indianapolis as the member of the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa renewed the religious vows she first professed 70 years ago. “I’m just beside myself,” said a beaming Sister Demetria at a reception after the Mass, surrounded by family and friends. “I’m just very thankful to God for all that has been.”
