Guest Sister Jacqulyn Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) Hi PMers! I have not been on for a long time and I was wondering how everyone was doing! Many of you know, I teach in Philadelphia inner-city and this past month has been hectice, but a most blessed one! Know that I carried you all in prayer during these lenten days. However, ALLELUIA!! Happy Easter! : On another note, I thought you all would be interested in this clip from one of our local Philadelphia news stations (I know you all like to check different stuff out!) This was a clip taken at one of our local convents with three of our sisters. The convent is actually one of the Drexal estates that was willed to us by the Father of St. Katherine Drexel when he died. It is an amazing convent and it used to serve as a boarding school for boys. Peace! Resurrexit sicut dixit, Alleluia. Sister Jacqulyn [url="http://cbs3.com/video/?id=38307@kyw.dayport.com"]Sisters of IHM[/url] P.S. Bear with the commercial before the clip comes on!!!

stlmom Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Good job on the video clip, Sister, thanks! I have a little bit of history with the great city of Philadelphia too, having gone to college there, graduated way back in the Bicentennial year . There's nothing like a cheesesteak from Pat's!!!

shortnun Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 It's a great video. Thanks for linking to it, Sr. Jacqulyn. Just so everyone else knows, this is an email comment I sent the CBS station: [quote]Hello, I was recently directed to your website to view the Women's View Story on the IHM sisters. In the opening bit, the reporter comments on there be 66,000 sisters worldwide. This is incorrect. This is the correct estimate for US sisters, with 776,269 worldwide. Source: [url="http://cara.georgetown.edu/bulletin/index.htm"]http://cara.georgetown.edu/bulletin/index.htm[/url] Other than that, GREAT STORY. Thanks for highlighting it! Sincerely, (shortnun)[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
