Praying, Living, & Loving the Franciscan Way
"God's abundant blessings on each of you who helped make our first OSF Homemade Bakery and Craft Boutique such a resounding success! Our sister vendors proudly displayed the work of their hands and many buyers eagerly scooped up their work. The bakery area was filled with cookies, stollen, fruitcake, monkey bread and other tasty treats. The atmosphere was festive, and there was a hum of great joy and satisfaction in the air. The St. Nicholas Cafe had steady customers enjoying a cup of coffee and conversation. St. Nicholas himself could not have been more gracious and welcoming. The associates’ baskets were auctioned off every hour, which also added to the fun of the day. Selling bricks from St. Mary's Academy brought in many buyers, too. One of our sisters noted that, when she walked in to see what was going on, she felt so proud to be there! Sisters were all working together joyfully for the common good. There was a definite swell of gratitude by all at the end of a very successful day financially, and a somewhat exhausting day physically. A very special thank you to all who were involved from the committee members: Sisters KD, Mary Lou, Helene, Marlene and Mary Hau."
