The Stations of the Cross presented in Shona, by Sr. Shingai Chigwedere

The Dominican Sisters of Peace have ministered in many nations and across continents. Our Sisters in Kansas were particularly active serving the Church and her people on the continent of Africa, where they founded an indigenous congregation of religious women, The Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena, Gusau, in 1973.
The Dominican Sisters of Peace have welcomed a number of women from the African continent to the Congregation. Today, in 2024, Sr. Margaret Uche, a native of Nigeria, is a Professed Sister. Sr. Shingai Chigwedere, a native of Zimbabwe, is currently in her Canonical Novice year at the Collaborative Dominican Novitiate in Chicago, where she serves with the Illinois Community for Displaced Immigrants.
Sr. Shingai brings us this beautiful version of the Stations of the Cross in Shona, a Bantu language of the Shona people of Zimbabwe. The images of the Stations of the Cross are located on the grounds of the Dominican Sisters of Peace Motherhouse in Great Bend, Kansas.
