The Wheaton Franciscan community rejoiced with Sharon Devo and her loved ones as she recommitted to Covenant Companionship on Jan. 5, 2025. During a moving liturgy celebrating the Epiphany, prayers were offered for Sharon as she read and signed her covenant. Her province pin and Covenant Companion Way of Life booklet were blessed by Sr. Mary Lou Wirtz, regional directress.
During the homily, Fr. Tony reminded everyone about the light of love that shines within us just as the holy light was revealed to the Magi. Sharon’s light does indeed shine bright with her family, friends, work, meditation, volunteering, artmaking, gardening, and more. As she recommitted to Covenant Companionship, Sharon explained, “The covenant form of belonging called to me to return as I deepened and matured in my living a Franciscan-hearted way of being.”
Sharon has worked for the Wheaton Franciscans since 2010, serving as the advocacy coordinator for Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation for two years and Tau Center, the spiritual ministry of the Wheaton Franciscans, where she currently serves as director and facilitates programs and retreats.
