Sisters in Lourdes Hall recently wanted to reach out to others. One sister was aware of the push to "do good" on September 11 (www.911day.org) in order to spread kindness and counteract fear.
Sr. Mary Norene McCormack worked with Everett, the facilities director, to tap the maple trees for sap today. Stay tuned as she collects the sap and turns it into delicious maple syrup.
Fr. Larry Tensi, pastor at St. Columban in Loveland, OH, recently invited sisters in Lourdes Hall to visit and view his crèche collection.
Sisters who reside in Lourdes Hall Care Center visited St. Charles Community on September 7.
Students from St. Columban School in Loveland, OH, visited St. Joseph Heights for a rousing game of Bingo with their "Nun Buddies." The sisters and students have been pen pals this academic year and finally got to meet in person. We loved their energy and their thoughtfulness. The students brought desserts and prizes for the Bingo game and were polite and attentive to their Nun Buddies throughout the day.
What does retirement mean for a Sister of Notre Dame?
An Internet search for “retirement” yields mostly fishing and 401(k)-related results. For an SND, fishing is something we do on Fridays during Lent and prudent financial planning will always be a must. Beyond that, retirement is a prayerful, engaging chapter of our lives. With less to do, we have found we can do so much more.
The Covington Province has applied for local and national grants in support of our retirement needs.
Sr. Mary Marjorie Gasdorf has a new bounce in her step thanks to her daily Nu Step routine.
