Tennis champ joins Good Samaritans

FORMER Australian junior tennis champion Linda Cassell made her perpetual profession as a Good Samaritan Sister on Easter Saturday in Sydney.

The student of Lourdes Hill College in Brisbane made her profession in the presence of family, friends and fellow sisters in St Scholastica’s College chapel at Glebe Point.

Congregational leader of the Good Samaritans, Sr Clare Condon, said perpetual profession was a “positive declaration” by a person and not a narrowing of life options.

“It is a reminder to go beyond our busy scattered lives and anything that holds our hearts captive in order to find that place of inner freedom where only God abides and makes us free,” Sr Condon said.

Sr Cassell works as a counsellor at Bede Polding College at Windsor, in Sydney’s outer west.

She is also a board member of Stella Maris College, Manly, in Sydney.

Before entering religious life she was the Australian junior tennis doubles champion in 1979 and played at Wimbledon.
