I don't do endings really, but I did give hugs, and know that I will see most of the novices for one reason or another yet again this summer. But, our semester is officially over, and what a semester it was!
Tomorrow Pat and I leave for a gathering of all of the CSJs across the U.S. Federation who are in formation or under ten years of final vows and the vocation/formation teams. We will head to Nazareth, KY for some input, sharing, fun, etc. More on that next week.
As we leave, the rest of our community will also be headed out. Sr. Paula is leaving tomorrow for a month-long visit to Arizona to see the friends and family she left when she joined us here. We'll miss her tons. And Amy and Clare will be off to the next session of our Provincial Chapter meetings. This is one weekend I wish I could be in two places at once. But, we have a few sisters charged with calling every so often to leave a message telling us what is going on. Anyway, there should be lots to share next week. For now, off to pack.
Happy Easter!

Just reading your comments, Sarah, brings back the happy memories of (already!) over a week ago; thanks. I believe you have captured the great spirit we both experienced this year in the ICN--a picture is worth a thousand words, yes, and what a great picture of the ICN group--as well as a few of us directors!

ReplyDeleteSarah, I only met two of the ICN novices, but felt such warmth and love from them...I know you will miss this group! I'm sure you all learned a lot from each other and your paths will cross again in some way. Love you...MOM
