On Wednesday May 31st, 2017 the Mabou Sisters and Associates gathered in the Chapel at the Renewal Centre to celebrate the Visitation. We had a beautiful Prayer/Reflection Service and listened to reflective music by Kathleen Deignan, CND. Sisters renewed their Vows and Associates their commitment. We ended with everyone singing the Magnificat. We then enjoyed a lovely potluck supper provided by our Associates. All had a wonderful evening with good food and conversation. We as Associates are truly blessed to have Sr. Coline, Sr. Éléonore and Sr. Catherine as our beacons of light and pray they continue to shine brightly.
Congratulations to Sister Anne MacDonald who gave 5000 hours of volunteer service to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown, P.E.I. Sister Anne received a pin recognizing her dedication at a dinner for volunteers.
At this stage of the General Conference, the sisters have heard the reports of the provinces and regions; today they are delving into the theme “Going to the Peripheries” with Mr. Albert Beaudry. This will be followed by a retreat facilitated by the members of the Leadership Team on… leadership! Sunday they will enjoy a well-deserved day off. The General Conference continues until June 7.
