The summer is slipping away and so have the hours of my days! Our community life has been very full! Our Sisters have returned full time to their various apostolates but not before we had a few celebrations - birthdays, Baptism anniversaries and a very special Jubilee. Our Sister Gloria celeberated with the community the Golden Jubilee of the beginning of her life as a Religious Sister. She asked for a simple celebration - and it was - but one filled with great joy and thanksgiving to God.

Solemn Vespers before the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament began our time together and was followed by a wonderful dinner and gifts for our Sister.

Tomorrow, September 8 is the day the Church's remembers the birthday of Our Blessed Mother. September is filled with wonderful feast days. Check your calendar and stay tuned!
