Marist Sisters in Australia gathered at Hunter Hill on the June long weekend to reflect and to celebrate. On Saturday morning Mrs Margery Jackman led us in a reflection on Option for the Poor. In the afternoon Sr Ruth gave us guidance on how to assist someone who has had a fall to ensure the safety of the helper and the one who has fallen then Sr Kate updated us on some financial matters.
It was with great joy that we gathered in the chapel at Marist Sisters’ College Woolwich on Sunday to celebrate our Jubilarians: Sr Catherine Lacey – Golden Jubilee, Srs Clare Francis and Marie Patricia Toomey, Platinum Jubilee.
Marist Father Paul Mahoney celebrated the Eucharist during which our Jubilarians renewed their vows. This was followed by afternoon tea in Marian House.
Congratulations to Sr.Clare Francis, and Sr. Marie Patricia Toomey on your Platinum Jubilee in June and to Sr. Catherine Lacey on your 50 Years celebration as a Marist Sister. Sr Clare Francis taught me Botany at Woolwich in the 1950’s when I was a student and finished school in 1954 very relucent to bid farewell. God bless you all Marists. My aunt Sr. Borromeo would be very proud and praying for you all in Heavenly places.
Dear Jill your message has been passed onto the sisters. Thanks for your thoughtfulness in sending your wishes to them.
Congratulations Srs Marie Pat, Catherine and Clare. Bernadette
