Farewell To Sr. Kathleen!

No we were not all crying as we said goodbye to Sr. Kathleen. But we were sad to see her go. We will miss her as she studies and prepares in Florida to serve the Haitian people in Haiti....She will be in all our prayers. It is our hope she will be able to assist many people as they recover from the earth quake.

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!

Not only will they provide fresh eggs in the future but they are already bringing much joy to the Sisters, Employees and everyone who visits the Provincilate. The chicks will stay indoors for 3 months at which time they will be rady to move out to the coop.

Sr. Erika also cut the opening ceremony ribbon. This dining area was so needed. Some of the men that were involved with the construction of the area were glad to attend the opening. Everyone had a smile because there was so much to smile about!

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.
