On Wednesday, September 21st, a simple celebration was held to honor our Sisters who were celebrating 75, 70 and 65 years as a Sister of St. Martha.
Also Sister Rose Setter who was unable to be present is celebrating 65 years in the congregation.
All the Sisters gathered in our Community Room for a prayer service.
On overview of each Sister’s ministry prefaced an individual prayer for the respective celebrant giving gratitude for their lives and contributions to Martha ‘love and service.
Following the prayer a social gathering with refreshments was enjoyed by all.
Welcome back to the Martha Spirituality Centre for a hybrid offering of in-person and zoom programming.
