SPIRITUAL LIFE
Adopt a Sister
A new ministry began this week called
ADOPT A SISTER, originating from the Spiritual Life Office. Basically, students sign up to go to the Basilian Motherhouse to meet the sisters, share in conversation, and have lunch together.
Our students took pictures with the sisters and became so involved in conversation that they forgot the time. Before they left, they gave each sister a pack of homemade cookies baked by one of our seniors.
It was a beautiful sight to see - 2 generations chatting and enjoying each other's company. The sisters enjoyed having the students and thanked Sister Germaine for bringing the girls. Sister Germaine said it made her heart smile and hopes to go again in the near future, perhaps during Easter. The decision to do so was unanimous!!
