Our Christmas Chronicle
Here we are approaching the last day of the Christmas Season, and we want to share with you our Christmas Chronicle in a little different format this time: in pictures! It all started with Christmas tree decorating … and moved on to the refectory …

Our Christmas refectory
Meanwhile in the kitchen, cooks were busy creating all sorts of wonderful Christmas treats to fill our table …
and Pam, and Theresa our Observer, put up the Christmas lights …

and inside the chapel, Esther prepared the Creche under the altar.

Finally Christmas Day arrived, and we celebrated in joy the birth of our Savior both at Mass …
Fr. Ed and Sisters at Christmas Day Mass
and at the Divine Office in choir.
After a festive Christmas meal and an afternoon spent opening gifts and enjoying one another, we gathered once more at day’s end full of gratitude. And so in these final days of Christmas, we wish all of you the fullness of God’s blessing, now and all throughout this New Year.
