Nurses, teachers, administrators, homemakers, musicians, counsellors, wellness guides, bakers of pies!
How do you give thanks for the fantastic service of a dozen generous women of faith?
Well - you greet, you affirm, you sing, you pray in gratitude, you dine in style, and you chat, chat, chat.
June 2, 2019 was a day of celebration for our Sisters marking anniversaries of 60 – 80 years in our congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph.
Each of these women have lived through the multiple changes of the last century, evolving with the times, ever seeking a deeper relationship with God, and enriching life around them. They have helped children develop their life skills, creativity and academic studies. They have sat with dying patients and prayed them home to God. They have nurtured healthy eating habits, released strained muscles, and administered the everyday operations of our former institutions. These are our Jubilarians – women of faith, women of courage. And for their presence among us we give thanks!
