ecumenism — Blog — Congregation of Sisters of St Joseph in Canada

To mark the 500^th Anniversary of the Reformation, the Catholic Women’s League and the Lutheran Ladies of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church met the afternoon of June 19 at St. Michael’s Church in Leamington. After a short prayer service focusing on the Christian commitment to love, the C.W.L. ladies explained that since Luther’s emblem is a white rose, they would plant a white rose bush to mark the occasion. Also, the Lutheran Ladies were offered a blue hydrangea to plant on their property to honour Mary, the Mother of Jesus. The photo shows Monica Weil on the left and Mary Lapos, co-president of the C.W.L. on the right, committing to overseeing the planting of the perennials at the respective churches.
