Sister Luz Maria Cayazzo, IHM, was recently incorporated as a perpetually professed member of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Scranton, PA, at a Eucharistic liturgy held at the IHM Center on October 4.

Sister Luz Maria, a native of Santiago, Chile, joined the IHM Congregation's transition program in 1999. At that time she began study of the constitutions and mission of the IHM congregation while also engaging in ministries with the Hispanic community. Sister Luz Maria currently serves as a pastoral associate for Hispanic Ministries for the Diocese of Scranton. She also serves as a translator for Spanish speaking clients at local hospitals and service agencies.

Prior to coming to Scranton, Sister Luz Maria served as a teacher in schools in the Diocese of Philadelphia, PA, as well as in Peru and Chile, South America. Sister holds degrees in education and counseling psychology.

The commitment ceremony provided the IHM community the opportunity to promise their support and prayer and ask God's blessing for Sister Luz Maria as she continues her life-long commitment as an IHM Sister.
