On Monday, we hosted the Sisters of St Joseph from Bethany Hill for a day of sisterly exchange at our monastery. This community of retired sisters generously opened their home to our Sister Francesca during her time of study at Mass Bay Community College. Since they were such kind and attentive hosts, we wanted to show our appreciation by extending hospitality to them in our turn.
Thirty-three Sisters of St Joseph joined us for Mass and a festive meal, which included twin birthday cakes for our Sr Flora and their Sr Brenda. After much lively conversation, their were tours of some areas of our monastery and musical entertainment.
We felt so blessed to meet these generous, joyful and holy women, to learn about their lives and ministries, and to share liturgy, lunch and lighthearted fun with them. See more pictures of this event here >
