Sister Theresa Chue OLSH

Sister Theresa asked not to have a eulogy. She was remembered on the OLSH site: :We have all had the opportunity to share memories of our dear Sister, Theresa over these past days and what has come through strongly was her deep love of the poor, her prayerfulness, missionary spirit, generosity and her gracious appreciation of the many ways God loved her throughout her life. Teresa was professed as a DOLSH for over 6 decades actually, Teresa would have been professed 67 years today. Her life is an example to all of us of faithful commitment to God and our Congregation.”

 

Sad Covid Message from Vietnam

Chung Tran MSC, the Director of Postulancy in Vietnam, has emailed to say that one of their great benefactors and neighbour has died with Covid. Miss Suong had supported the postulancy for years by giving the students rice, instant noodle, washing liquid and even instant coffee. She did this monthly, and she always prayed for them.

 

Message from the Provincial of the Dominican Republic:

I regret to inform you of the death of Father Lucas Lafleur MSC early this morning. Luc was a translator at many General Chapters

Pilgrimage to Issoudun, Saturday, September 4, 2021...

Today, living a pilgrimage time to Issoudun:

    it's accepting to start on the road,

    it's taking time for yourself,

    it is recharge your Christian faith through a theme chosen annually,

    it's catching breath at the beat of the Church,

    it is accepting to decentralize yourself to live, with others, the joy of believing,

    it is discovering the place and role of Mary in her life and the life of the Church,

    It is to take as a model of our faith Our Lady who said yes to God... and who shows us the path that leads

    to the Heart of Christ.

PS. Greg McCann MSC and John Bosman MSC were spotted this afternoon keeping the Monastery in tip top shape, with the repainting of the parking spaces. They had just enough energy left to smile for this photo!
