A Visitation Week-end in Honor of the Sisters

That more than 400 Visitation community members would celebrate this year’s Merrie Market was such a testimony to the Sisters, in whose honor we gathered this year. It has been 400 years since their Order’s founding. Remarkable.

I loved watching the Sisters through the evening as they viewed the artifacts on display and the slide show created in their honor. They were, of course, the center of attention as person after person sought them out – to chat, to reminisce, and simply to be with them.

This year’s weekend of fundraising and friend-raising certainly took on a new dimension. It underscored so beautifully why we are here, doing what we do at Visitation – keeping alive the legacy of the Sisters, with them and for them. I loved every minute of it.
