July 17th, on the 108th anniversary of our Foundation, we were treated to an afternoon tea party hosted by our very gifted archivist, Lindsey Winstone, who generously shared her baking talents with us.
She provided us with some interesting finds from the archives including audio interviews from some of our earliest Sisters.
Sister Joan Campbell shared briefly about the work of the Charity Federation noting she and Sister Rosemary MacDonald attended the June Annual Leadership meeting in Nazareth, Kentucky.
Sister Joan reinforced our connection to St. Vincent de Paul highlighting commonalities between hospitality and charity.
She ended by inviting us all the pray together the prayer to St. Vincent de Paul.
It was an enjoyable and memorable afternoon!
