Sister Jubilarians we’re honored at a luncheon, special liturgy and social at St Coletta in Wisconsin. St Coletta of Wisconsin’s Nova choir, made up of St Coletta clients, sang at the Mass. Some of the Jubilarians ministered at St Coletta years ago. It was a wonderful reunion for clients and sisters.
