It
was a glorious Saturday morning and St. Bernard's chapel
was full of family and friends to celebrate
the golden jubilee of Sr.Mary Curtis, one of the
Bernardine sisters.
|
|
The
Mass was led by Monsignor George Stokes, a friend of
Sr. Mary's.
Fr. Noel Connolly, Fr. Brian Godden, Fr. Peter Craddy
and Fr. Kevin O'Driscoll
concelebrated.
|
|
| As part of
the Mass Sr. Mary renewed her vows and so did the rest of
the Bernardine community present. |
|
Afterwards
there was a reception in the school hall.
Sr. Mary gave a short speech.
She spoke amusingly of her convent schooling
in London and of her time working
in the Foreign Office.
