Being able to be a delegate at our General Chapter was both a privilege and a gift for me. Those precious days in August were a culmination of two years of planning. The Chapter Preparatory Commission and the facilitator led sisters and associates of the Provinces and Regions through a wonderful process. As a result, the theme for our Chapter “Rooted in Jesus Christ, Let Us Cultivate Love and Compassion” became very much a part of us all.
The Marguerite Bourgeoys stained glass window from Notre Dame Convent Charlottetown will now grace the new diocesan Our Lady of Hope Retreat Centre in Stanley Bridge, PEI.
This stained glass window was a gift from the Prince of Wales students, class of 1952 who boarded at Notre Dame.
It is always a thankful time to look back on events that have been realized through the collaboration of many hands and hearts. The Spirituality Resource Group in dreaming about possibilities this year imagined offering a Visitation Spirituality Retreat and also a Congregation of Notre Dame gathering called GRACED AGING for sisters in their 70’s.
