Celebrating our Sisters
I announced a couple of weeks ago that three of our four Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist--Sisters Teresa Christi, Mary Philomena, and Mary Consolata--will be leaving us at the conclusion of this academic year for new missions, and three new sisters will be joining our community in their place. To help send these universally admired sisters off and to thank them for their years of service and dedication to Saint Agnes School, I'd like to invite you to consider attending a special celebration in their honor here at the Church of Saint Agnes in Schuler Hall after the 9 AM Holy Mass on Pentecost Sunday, June 5th.
It will be fitting to send them off on the day in which we celebrate Christ sending the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, and while we will greatly miss these three Dominicans who were here to found the Saint Agnes mission of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, we know that they will continue to do amazing work in their new missions.
