On November 2 Maryland Associates engaged in a morning of reflection as Sister Sharon Kanis led us in the retreat “Reflecting On Our Commitments In Light Of The Call.”
It was a timely reflection for the Associates, generating many good insights and action ideas.
In an afternoon prayer service, we celebrated the first covenant of three women and the re-covenating of 26 Associates.
A reception with Sisters and families followed the prayer service.
Welcome to our new Associates:
