Diamond Jubilee Celebration

On Saturday, June 30th, we celebrated our Sister Peter's 60th anniversary of monastic vows.  Mass featured music and songs specially chosen by the jubilarian, including Psalm 139 recited by Sr Peter herself:

"You have searched me, Lord,
    and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
    you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;  you are familiar with all my ways."

The highlight was to witness to witness Sr Peter renew her vows.



Afterwards, the celebration continued with the sharing of a delicious meal with a large group of guests - Sr Peter's friends from near and far.



Entertainment was provided by the sisters, including a flute duet by Srs Maria and Ana Laura, and Welsh folk songs by Srs Sofia and Christina.






















The unquestionable high point of the afternoon, though, was a skit about our Gift Shop performed by Sr Peter herself, together with her "side kick" Sr Rita.  Here is the flying sock finale.



All in all, a wonderful time was had by all.  Thank you to all who enriched our day by your presence and prayers!
