As the feast of Pentecost draws near, I wish you all an abundance of the seven gifts and nine fruits of the Spirit. If you need a refresher course, look here: http://thecatholicspirit.com/faith/the-lesson-plan/gifts-and-fruits-of-the-holy-spirit.
Each year we honor and celebrate the volunteers that help keep things going in the Motherhouse. Volunteers help out in the card shop, work with sisters, help with fund development tasks and much more. This year we had a fun and festive Ice Cream Social. Flowers grown by Sr. Helene were given as gifts as well as gift certificates to the card shop. 9 beautiful homemade pies and a few other items were given out as door prizes.
A BIG Thank You to all of our volunteers who gave their time and talents for the annual Garlic Mustard Pull!!
Volunteers worked on Saturday May 13 from 9:00am-2:00pm. The end result was a mountain of garlic mustard! Lunch was generously provided by Prasser-Kleczka Funeral Homes, with special lunchtime entertainment by "In the Zone" with Garrett Boyd. The 4th, 5th and 6th grade classes from Fernwood Montessori School have been coming every other month to Clare Hall to share their creative writing projects with a group of our sisters. The students have formed a bond with their special sisters. Their teacher says that they are excited to come and look forward to their visits. Last week was their last visit for this school year. The students wrote stories for their mentors, featuring their special sister as a character.
Sisters Diana and Sylvia Anne attended an International Franciscan Conference in Assisi, Italy May 7-12. 111 Franciscan leaders from all over the world attended!
And now a message from Sr. Helene 😊
