The Maria Kaupas Center partnered with Nativity Early Childhood Center to celebrate the beginning of this awesome tradition. We went to the Sisters of St.Casimir Motherhouse with the preschool aged children to sing songs to the Sisters, share blessings, and give the Sisters a special gift of handmade stars.
We began with a special introduction for the Sisters:
"Sisters, we are gathered here to celebrate you. Today we are kicking off the Inaugural National Catholic Sisters Week. As you know, March is International Women's History Month. this is wholly appropriate because everyday your hard work, charism, and mission-driven lives shape the world around us. You are making history-- a meaningful, impactful, and just history.
So, we are here today to say 'thank you'. As a Maria Alumna, I have personally benefited from your hard work. I could never thank you enough for all you've done... and I'm not the only one.
Thank you for all you've done to bless us. Now, we'd like to take this opportunity to bless you."
- Britt (Johnson) Quinn '06
We shared songs, smiles, and a collective spirit of gratitude for all the Sisters do for the world.
This week, try to take moment to recognize and appreciate the efforts of these women. They do a whole lot, and they make a huge difference for the world!
Let's hear it for the Sisters!
