On Sunday, December 15th the Fortress of Louisbourg volunteers gathered in the Bigot Theatre for an Appreciation Luncheon. During the summer months Congregation de Notre-Dame Sisters and Associates volunteer in the De La Perelle Exhibit. This exhibit on "The Sisters of Louisbourg" is about the lives of and work of the Sisters of The Congregation de Notre-Dame who ran the only formal school in Louisbourg, NS in the 18th century.
On December 10th and 11th, the Life of Marguerite Bourgeoys As Told in Story and Song was performed four times at St. Marguerite Bourgeoys School here in Kingston to the sheer delight of all those in the audience. The play/musical unfolds with seven songs composed by Sr. Eleanor Monahan (some 20 years ago!) and a complementary narration created by Sr. Emily Doherty. Alison Bogle, teacher and CND Associate (in process), along with many talented and generous volunteers, was responsible for the production.
From February 15-28, 2020, 5 Sisters from Visitation and Blessed Sacrament Provinces, a CND Associate and her husband, and 2 CND friends will go to Brownsville, on the Texas border, in order to serve with Catholic Charities and the Humanitarian Respite Center.
