Introduction: In this prayer service, we are focusing on how Mary is blessed by her call, her response and birth of Jesus. We are inspired by the September Associate Retreat that Kathleen Deignan led on Marguerite’s Beatitudes. Marguerite understood that Mary is a blessing in our lives and she blesses us with the gifts we need this Advent. We are suggesting some songs but you may wish to choose others.
On Saturday, November 9th Miramichi Associates Gail McKibbon and Frances Connell travelled to Saint-Louis-de-Kent to present eight prayer shawls to the Sisters of the Congregation de Notre-Dame who live there.
The Prayer Shawl Ministry was founded in St. Mary’s Parish, Miramichi almost ten years ago by Gail McKibbon. Sister Marie St.Coeur and Associate Carmel Doyle have been with the group since its beginning. [Photo: Frances Connell with the Sisters wearing their new prayer shawls.]
