A MESSAGE FROM THE SSMO SUPERIOR GENERAL

 

Dear Families and Friends,

 

Sr. charlene letterIn A View from the Dome this month, we want to share with you a little about our life, our spirituality, our gratitude to those who donate from their gardens and orchards, our participation in the Maryville Christmas Craft Sale, and our relationship with our SSMO Associates.

 

While December may be the most hectic time of the year, it is also a most treasured time as it is sandwiched between the great feast of gratitude, Thanksgiving, and the joyous feast of the good news: that a Savior was born on Christmas Day.
