Jubilee


Today we celebrated the Jubilees of twelve Ursuline Sisters.  Combined they have emassed some 705 years of religious profession.  We celebrated one sister with 75 years, eight sisters with 60 years and three sisters with 50 years.  It was a wonderful celebration of their life commitment.  Each sister has served and ministered to the People of God for all these years. They have served both in the United States and in other lands.  In their every day living they have shared the Charism of St. Angela with all.  As we prayed in thanksgiving for all they ahve done we also remembered and honored those who are no longer with us.  Truly it was a day to relish in God's abundant gift of mercy.  Ad multos annos to all and thank you for your fidelity, love and example!
