Mary Adamski : Chaplains in blue: listening, consoling, praying

11/19/2015 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

Viriditas: Sister An Mei Lam, Daughters of St. Paul

11/19/2015 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

Letting go and being open to transitions in life can be really difficult for some people. I guess it is because of my background, being from China, that I have been able to pretty easily adapt to different assignments given in religious life. Transitions are not difficult for me because I was an immigrant and have lived in different cultures.
