Don and Lorraine Gettinger, Sister M. Lissetta’s parents, are members of Holy Rosary Parish in Warrenton.

She vowed for three years "to live in chastity for the sake of the kingdom of heaven, to choose a life of poverty and to offer the sacrifice of obedience," according to her community.
Provincial Superior Sister M. Angela Mellady accepted Sister M. Lissetta’s vows in the name of the Church. The white veil she wore as a novice for two years was exchanged with a black veil as an outward sign of her profession....
