Greetings from associates in Kamloops, Quesnel, Ashcroft, Eagle Bay and Salmon Arm. We are a group of 14 associates scattered over quite a large area of British Columbia. This is intended as just a very brief overview of our gatherings this past fall of 2018 as we had quite an interesting time.
Halifax Associates gathered at the Bedford office on Sunday, December 9. Frankie MacCormack, Gloria Dempsey, Josie Ritcey, Sr Eileen McQuaid and Anna Rowley participated in a beautiful Advent service prepared by Sr. Connie MacIsaac entitled The Advent Dance of Waiting in Darkness. Through prayer, song, reflection and discussion we deepened our personal Advent journey. Sr. Eileen updated the group on preparations for the 400th Anniversary of the birth of St Marguerite. Anna talked about the activities she and Marjorie have worked on and will be working on in the coming year. We ended with a delicious potluck meal and catching up on everyone’s Christmas plans.
