Helping pack and relocate the Blessed Sacrament Province Archives these past months has been a privilege and, for sure, a time spent on HOLY GROUND. Sr. Alyn Larson was a wonderful guide, along with Marie-Josée Morin, the director of our Archives in Montreal, and Sr. Marion Andreykovic was my onsite invaluable partner as we packed.
Associate Barbara Clarkin recently received the Golden Apple, a weekly award given to a local Rhode Island teacher. Congratulations, Barbara! https://turnto10.com/station/golden-apple/golden-apple-during-pandemic-cranston-teacher-has-been-beacon-in-a-storm
Associate Gathering on our Provincial Report
Sister Mary Anne Foley, liaison for Associate Relationship to our Provincial Council, met with Associates on May 8 for a listening session on the Provincial Report. Associates freely shared their thoughtful responses, comments, and questions. They were grateful to all who prepared and compiled the report. It was beautifully written and presented—giving a comprehensive and inspiring summary of all that has been accomplished throughout these past 4 years. Associates appreciated the transparency of the information that was shared with all. Sisters, Associates, school communities, friends, and many others have richly blessed our province through the ministries, work, energy, creativity, and Visitation spirit they have so generously shared!
