A MESSAGE FROM THE SSMO
SUPERIOR GENERAL

 

Dear Families and Friends, 

 

We are hoping that you noticed that you did not receive the June edition of A View from the Dome on June 1! (We won't ask for a show of hands!) We have concluded that it would be helpful to set the first Wednesday of each month as our publication date in order to avoid weekends.

 

Summer does not mean much of a slow down in activities for the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon. June started with our participation in Beaverton's Recycle Day and August concludes with our annual garage sale. Each month we will share with you the activities' highlights and photos.

Meanwhile, may our summer days be not too hot and not too wet as we enjoy the beauty of God's creation all around us.

 

Blessings, 
 
Sr. Charlene Herinckx
Superior General
