sweet Valentine treats.
Sister Ruth Margaret is working on her Valentine cards.
We were happy to be invited to attend some of the super
celebrations during Catholic Schools Week at St. Anne's
School and St. Mary's Parish! At St. Anne's, we
enjoyed lunch, visiting with the children in their
classrooms and wonderful, creative plays. At St.
Mary's, we were treated to a beautiful Mass, a talk about
the history of St. Mary's (did you know our pioneering
foremothers started St. Mary's?) Later we had
scrumptious birthday cake to celebrate their 130 years of
existence.
Sister Patricia and Sister Delora enjoyed their time
visiting with the kindergarten class at St. Anne's.
The children were dressed like storybook characters and
heroes!
Sisters and students alike sang an energetic song about
Jesus. Here we are spelling J-E-S-U-S. It was so much
fun!
Sister Hannah and Sister Mariah answer questions about what
it is like to be a sister.
Some of the students tell Sister Claire their parents were
students of hers.

Welcome
University of Mary students
Our Sisters immensely enjoyed
visiting with University of Mary students on December 9. The
students came over during their "Basic Catholic Beliefs" class and
talked to the sisters about their vocation, ministry, education and
the Benedictine values. Students rotated from table to table,
meeting and visiting with the sisters and asking questions.
Sister Elizabeth Mason visits
with students.
Students enjoyed time looking at
Sister Kathryn Zimmer's scrapbooks and
hearing her stories.
Sister Kathleen Atkinson
encourages the students to be present, to be God in the flesh, to
others.
The sisters blessed the students
before they departed. Students were invited to come back and
visit the sisters and join them in prayer.
