Please join us in saying thank you and farewell on Monday, July 17th at the 6:45 and 9:00 am Masses. Refreshments will follow in the narthex of church. In September of 2010 Sister Elizabeth Bailey, IHM came on board as the Convent Superior and began teaching Religious Enrichment in our school. SSJ has been graced with her presence for these past seven years. Prior to coming to SSJ, Sister Betty was in Educational Ministry for 29 years as a second grade teacher and principal. In addition to her duties as Superior, teaching, leading the older children as Junior Companions and helping with administration, Sister has been active in reinvigorating Charismatic Prayer in the parish and around the Archdiocese as well as supporting the Flame of Love movement. This August Sister Betty will be moving to serve the IHM Sisters at Camilla Hall, the Convent Home and Healthcare Center of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We are most grateful for Sister’s gracious spirit, prayerfulness, countless acts of kindness, service and devotion to fostering a caring community to so many here at SSJ. Sister Betty will be greatly missed! Sister, May God continue to bless and protect you always.
