There are many great women in the world. Sister Mary Joseph, former superior of the Congregation of St. Francis Xavier Sisters, was one of them. She was born in Kanazogone village in Wakema Township, Ayeyarwaddy Region, Myanmar, to U Bote Ni and Daw Maria. She was their third child. The nun was elected Mother General of the congregation from 1994 to 2000 and served as a religious sister for 61 years. Sister Mary Joseph had fallen asleep in Christ on December 1 at the age of 85. Her long life was a good example not only for the members of her congregation but of the community of the faithful in Myanmar.
