125th Anniversary Celebration

The Sisters from Holy Name Province hosted a gathering of sisters and associates from around the world July 21 - 23, 2000. 

"Graced by Magdalen, Fired by the Spirit!" was the theme of the celebration. Sister Regina Boyle from the Denver province designed the logo.

Sisters from the Netherlands joined in the celebration and are seen here carrying a picture of Mother Aloysia Lenders, the founder of the US Provinces.

 

 

 

Sister Gloria Shuffer, Denver, CO; Sister Maria Elena Martinez, Redwood City, CA and; Sister Mary McCarrick, Stella Niagara, NY are the three United States Provincials.

 

 

 

Sisters and Associates join in a prayer service at the cemetery of Stella Niagara.

 During the three days of the anniversary celebration we honored  the sisters who came before us; we shared stories of the activities and ministries of our sisters and associates around the world today; and we examined the challenges of the future.
