Greetings! …and Happy
Fall! I love this colorful season, and
already the days are getting cooler in Grand Rapids, even though bits of Summer
still lingers. Yet I read this morning
that Montana is buried under a couple of feet of snow while still in the month
of September! As a fan of snow, I’m
ready for Winter, but I’ll enjoy the colors of this season as we move into
Winter.
Along with this e-newsletter, I’m sending one last
shout-out for our upcoming “Come and See” Weekend – this Friday,
October 4th – Sunday October 6th! You may still register online by clicking on

El Paso Border Ministry
Four weeks ago today, five of us (4 Dominican Sisters and a
Paulist priest) returned from our mission in El Paso. This week the four of us will share a
PowerPoint presentation with our Sisters at Aquinata Hall. Later this month and within the next few
weeks, we will share a similar presentation and conversation with the Sisters
in the Congregation when they come to Marywood for congregational meetings as
well as with the students at Aquinas College and a couple of parishes who have
invited us to share our experience. For
me, it has been the most moving experience I have had in my many years in
ministry. Below I’m including some
pictures, which are only a few of the pictures (50 slides!) I included in the
PowerPoint.
