A MESSAGE FROM THE SSMO SUPERIOR GENERAL
 
Good Morning and Happy New Year! The Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon wish you many blessings in 2012 and we hope that your Christmas celebration was filled with the joy and peace that our Savior promised us! 
 
In this issue of A View from the Dome, we have provided the reflection material (Our Lady of Guadalupe) used by the Sisters on their Recollection Day in December as well as what will be used in January (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton). If you have found these materials to be useful or interesting, we would love to hear from you.
