Theresa and I visited the beautiful island of PEI in September. Our first stop was to Andrews of Charlottetown to visit and extend prayers for a speedy recovery to Sister Marie L. Arsenault. We were graciously welcomed by Sisters Joan Marie Chaisson and Shelley Grant at the Marguerite Bourgeoys Centre in Summerside.
We are grateful for our re-assembling. We resumed our daily community dining (hi-lighting our disk jockey, Sr. Monica McKenna), informal get-togethers, birthday celebrations, spontaneous gatherings, weekly sing-a-longs (featuring our resident musician Sr. Violet Belair) and our delightful Matinées, etc.
Last Saturday we participated in a life-giving event on PEI, Cycling with Sisters. Thanks to the planning of Sisters Sue, Libby and their committee everything went very well. Since then, I have been reflecting on the imagery contained in the expression “Cycling with Sisters.” Although we may not go down in history as being noted for promoting cycling it does contain rich imagery for today.
