Sisters living at the Mother House and Ross Hall celebrated their 2021 Jubilee on Saturday, Aug. 7, 2021. Jubilarians celebrated Mass and attended a special lunch with invited guests. Below are photos of the Ross Hall and Mother House Sisters who were honored—it was a beautiful day for pictures.
We give thanks to our Jubilarians, who have lived out the words given to us by Mother Xavier: “Sisters, always look forward, never look back . . . meet the challenges of your day, work for global peace, hear the cry of the poor, the young, the aged, the sick, and above all, the call to personal holiness.”
