Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Dear Phamily, I just wanted to share with you that today my monastery is celebrating it's 87th anniversary of foundation. It's a joyous day for us and we've always known the protection of our angels on each sister and on the monastery. Today, also, our Sr. Mary Ellen Timothy is celebrating her 45th anniversary of Profession. To celebrate all this we'll have a special dinner in the community room so that we can TALK! I heard rumours that someone is making chocolate chip cookies which are Sr. MET's favorite! I guess I'll stay for dinner! : You can read a bit about our history [url="http://monialesop.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_monialesop_archive.html"]HERE.[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something going on here that you want to share with the rest of us? : [/quote] Glad I puzzle you, its a habit! : Lets just say the pham's novice mistress (Sister Mary Catharine) - happens to be a "extended family" novice mistress of mine, personally, so you can say we tend to bring out the good, funny, "dont you dare" things, and actually we also have a tendency to bring down the house on feast days with jokes, future events, activities, even if it is not the exact relation result, etc...

Actually, it's only the anniversary of the monastery, not the Order (we aren't a congregration.) The Nuns throughout the world will be celebrating the super big foundation anniversary of 800 years this Advent-Epiphany 2008. Someone the other day said, "Oh, sisters, but you don't look a day over 700!" : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my language we use the same words for nuns and sisters. Imagine how confused I was at first. Yes, the 800th anniversary - totally great. Maybe I'll go crazy and go to my mum's for that - she lives one village away from Albi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
