A Moment for Mission

The Holy Spirit be with you to sustain and carry out vigorously and faithfully the charge laid upon you.

-- St. Angela Merici Prologue to the Counsels

A big THANK YOU to Kristin Koenig and Nicole Becker for kicking off the Bear Moms’ year in grand fashion. Moms and Margaritas was again a big hit and several people volunteered to help with the Auction, ExamOGrams and well, pretty much everything. We will continue to post information here and the Bear Moms Facebook page is very active so please keep an eye out for updates. Also, get to know your class rep and if you are not already involved, they’ll get you connected!

And all you Dads out there - be sure to join us for the BBQ on September 7!

175th Anniversary tidbit: The three Ursuline sisters who founded Ursuline near the Old French Market in 1848 came from Austria-Hungary and the young woman with them, preparing to join the order, was from Bavaria.
