On Saturday, May 17th, we celebrated the 87th birthday and the 50th anniversary of profession of our Sr. Mary Ellen Timothy. We also celebrated the feast day of Sr. Denise Marie which was actually May 8th, feast of the Patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary over the Order of the Preachers.
The sisters outdid themselves with skits, songs and games. An Italian Dinner was donated by our dear friend, Billy Agellini. We had a wonderful day giving thanks to God for the gift of our sisters and their fidelity to their vocations!
