At the 4 pm May 27 Liturgy at St. Rose of Lima Church in Kankakee, IL, 5 women became Associates with the IL Associates and Sisters as witnesses.
Maria, Rosario and Guadalupe have been meeting with Sr. Mary Mac Isaac as the beginning of a new Latina Associate Community in Kankakee. Sr. Mary has chosen women who are leaders to begin the new Associate Community.
Sr. Mary Mac Isaac began this group when she lived in Chicago. Those three Associates made their first commitment in January, 2014 and are dedicated leaders.
Becoming Neighbours' World Refugee Day Prayer Service
From June 6-8, I attended the Canadian Religious Conference National JPIC (Justice Peace and Integrity of Creation) Conference in Toronto with Sisters Maura McGrath, Anne T. Gillis and Maureen Killoran. Maura led us in the closing prayer. The theme of Sacred Water was brought to life with wonderful prayer and two days of input and reflection, one day with Elder Josephine Mandamine and one day with Council of Canadians Chair Maude Barlow. We were challenged and inspired to see water as sacred and also as a human right – not either/or but both/and. How will we continue to live this? Some exciting proposals for the Community will be coming after the summer. We look forward to welcoming you on board.
