It is the most powerful

in a democratic society,
and we must use it.”

Our country faces many trying issues as we head into the last 10 days of the 2020 General Election season.

One on One with Our Sisters
Do you have any favorite fall flavors or treats that you look forward to having at this time of year?
“In October, I enjoy the flavors of Oktoberfest – German potato salad, Weinersnitchel, pumpkin pie and German sausage.”
– Sister Cecilia Jacko
“As a child, pomegranates were a special treat
in the fall. I still
enjoy eating them.”
– Sister Frances Marie Duncan

“Fall is my favorite season. I like to celebrate with a piece of deep-dish apple pie and a mug of spiced cider.”
– Sister Barbara Ann Webster
Hauntingly Familiar
