As part of a Narrative Program in the city, Sister Charlotte Lockhart’s friends organized an event on Saturday, June 2nd. A video presentation of Charlotte’s life story was prepared and shown at our church, with many well-wishers on hand. The Narrative Program is a project that gathers family members and friends in celebration of seniors and recognition of their presence and their achievements among us.
On June 3rd sisters and associates gathered for prayer, sharing reflections, and renewal of vows by the sisters followed by good conversation and a meal. Sister Clara Nasello and Associate Bambina Lemme facilitated the afternoon. We had a special thank you for Sister Louise Dunn for all the work she's done in being able to gather at Serenity Renewal for Families over the years.
Fort Louisbourg Welcomes Congregation de Notre-Dame Volunteers on Canada Day: On Friday, June 8th the staff at Fort Louisbourg warmly and energetically welcomed the CND volunteers. They introduced us to the staff on duty and gave a general orientation to the premises. During our walk we met some people who had already begun their summer employment and were in period costume of the persons they represented.
The day was sunny, windy but not cold. We met a teacher from PEI who had his students do an overnight stay at the fortress (teacher was Joan Marie Chaisson’s nephew). Louisbourg provides 18th century tenting experience or you can sleep inside one of the building.
The volunteers will begin on July 1st as this is the beginning of their peak season.
