Reflections of a Stellar Celebration

E-mail Print PDF

Rich Lessard and I made the trip down to Maryknoll to help direct traffic and park cars for the opening Centennial Celebration Liturgy. We were happy to help out the Sisters in anyway we could; we were even happier that the temperature was above freezing. As always we were graciously greeted and thanked for our interest and participation. 

The Chapel was ready, Stars were everywhere; on the banners that lined the walls commemorating  countries that Maryknoll sisters serve in, stars bearing the name of each Maryknoll Sister lined the drapes on the alter and billions of stars in all of the galaxies were depicted in a photo of the Cosmos. A large star that led the procession rested at the base of the altar, and the living Stars, the Maryknoll Sisters in attendance were shining brightly.

Our Chapter decided to read the book as a group to deepen our connection to Maryknoll and its beginnings. Many of our members had met Sr. Claudette in the past, and were taken by her enthusiasm and presence. Sr. Ellen McDonald accompanied Sr. Claudette for the weekend. Sr. Ellen is the co-founder of the Maryknoll Affiliates along with Fr. Jim Madden.
