Sister Adrienne Kaufmann, OSB, Mother of God Monastery, Watertown, recently received the Vocation Ministry Recognition Award at the biannual convocation of the National Religious Vocation Conference (NRVC), in Overland Park, KS. Sister Adrienne’s eleven years of service as vocation director included work at the local, regional and national level. Sister Adrienne said, “NRVC has a membership of 900 vocation ministers. To be singled out in this membership of magnificent women and men, is indeed humbling.” Pictured above (left to right): Sister Hannah Vanorny, OSB, Bismarck, ND, Sister Adrienne Kaufmann, OSB and Brother Ronnie Hingle, SC, Chair of the NRVC Board, Baton Rouge, LA.
