My Have they Grown!

I mean the chickens of course. They are no longer baby chicks cute and fuzzy, able to sit on our hands. They have grown to full size chickens. Last Friday, June 4th was a special day for our chickens. It was their very first day outside. They only went outside for a couple of hours...but imagine the new view they had. Grassy hills, blue sky and trees. We were so happy! Next step will be the chicken coup.

Redeemer Day In May!

Redeemer day is celebrated with a mass and a dinner always on the 5th Saturday after Easter Sunday. It is a special day for all Sisters of the Holy Redeemer because it is the day we renew our vows. This past Redeemer day we had special visitors Mother Alphonse's great, great nieces. Above you can see a picture of them, with a picture of who else but Mother Alphonse! Also on this day our associates make their commitments and recommitments to service and prayer. Isn't it a nice group picture of are associates in the chapel after mass? We are blessed in so many ways by our associates.

Baby Chicks Arrive!

The chicks will stay indoors for 3 months at which time they will be rady to move out to the coop.

We love to dance. Sr. Maryanne is showing us how to "Shu the Donkey". That's a dance that the Irish know how to do well and Sr. Maryanne is Irish.

Two Colleges Come To Serve

As you know colleges usually have a week in the spring to rest catch up with their studies or travel somewhere. Well two groups traveled to Huntingdon Valley to stay with the sisters for a week to give service at some of our ministries. Approximately twelve students from Michigan State and Rhode Island College. They painted, cleaned and even helped in our daycare at Project Rainbow. They had fun with our elderly residents at the Lafayette and Redeemer Village. Below is a picture of students sharing about their volunteer experience during their week with the sisters and our associates. Thankyou so much for being so generous with your time.
