On Monday, August 2nd, we commemorated the jubilee celebrations of three of our sisters. Two celebrated 60 years in the community and one celebrated 70. It was wonderful to gather as a community and share their joy! As a young sister, too, I'm encouraged and inspired by these occasions. The lives of our older sisters strengthens my desire to give more freely of myself to God, the community, and the world.
Here are some photos from the day:
