There is a new face at the home of the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon. Rosina Pham has joined the SSMO Community as a candidate discerning life as a Sister. She was born in Vietnam and her family emigrated to the United States where she has lived since 1991. Rosina describes herself as the youngest in a family of five boys and three girls, noting that one of her brothers is a priest at Domus Dei Clerical Society of Apostolic Life. Rosina graduated from Marshall High School in 1995, after which she moved to California. While there, she earned her bachelor’s degree in social work from San Francisco State University.

While in school, Rosina worked at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Daly City, CA as a bookkeeper. She moved back to Portland afterward and lived with her parents. Rosina has most recently been volunteering at Our Lady of Lavang Church as a CCD teacher.
