We celebrated the Jubilee Year of Hope together for a week at Marycrest. For the first time, all of our sisters from our Philippines mission were able to be present. We had processions, a special Holy Hour, a day for family and friends, and some special fun activities. Truly a time of grace and refreshment!
On July 2, 2025, Sisters, family, and friends gathered at Marycrest to celebrate Mother Maria Catherine’s Golden Jubilee. Her chosen theme was “The faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.” All of us gave thanks for God’s enduring faithfulness to Mother, and her continued “yes” to Him!
Sr. Mary Roberta White, PVMI went home to the Lord on December 11, 2024. Sister had a very easy going way about her that put people at ease. She was wonderful at showing a personal interest in everyone. In her heart she was single-minded for the Lord’s glory and the salvation of others. Her blindness in later years was a source of grace for herself and for the many people for whom she prayed, as she offered everything to the Lord with trust and faith. We look forward to seeing you again Sister Mary Roberta! You now enjoy seeing the Lord and all the saints in heaven!
Sr. Carmen Rivera, PVMI went home to the Lord on November 8, 2024 after a long battle with cancer. We miss her but know she is praying for us all. Sr. Carmen was always enthousiastic for our Community advancement and had great zeal for the salvation of all. Pray for us, Sr. Carmen, as we pray also for you!
On Saturday August 3rd, we welcomed around 45 high school teens to a day where they could encounter Jesus, meet friends and Sisters, and be sent forth as missionary disciples! The day was filled with shared meals, a volley ball game (and other games), small group activities and discussions, shared meals, Eucharistic Adoration, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and Mass. The youth loved all the attention from our sisters and left filled with the love, joy, and peace of Christ!
