As Sr. Mary shared last week we are having a busy but wonderful second week of Advent. On Sunday we had our Advent Healing Prayer Service. It was a cold and rainy night. We began with Adoration at 4 pm and Evening Prayer with healing prayer followed. Father Tom Hartle OFM arrived from New Jersey on Saturday. He is the religious assistant to our Holy Name Federation of Poor Clares and was able to come a few days ahead of the meeting with the Federation Council. On Monday night the Sisters who are on the Federation Council arrived safely. Have a blessed Advent! We are praying with and for you and your intentions. Sr. Kathy Ann
Meet our Poor Clare Sisters, from left, Anne from Langhorne, PA, Etta and Barbara from Chesterfield, NJ. We enjoyed seeing them again.
The oil we used for the healing prayer is made by our Poor Clare Sisters in Saginaw, MI. It is on the table in front of the altar with a basket containing intentions from those who could not be present.
Father Tom presided at Liturgy while he was here.
