A MESSAGE FROM THE SSMO
SUPERIOR GENERAL

 

Dear Families and Friends, 

 

It is August already! There is little time left for vacation before school begins again! 

 

Here at the Motherhouse, the drilling, pounding and banging goes on and on as we are in the third month of the HVAC project. Since mid-July, groups of Sisters have had to vacate their bedrooms and relocate themselves in a different section of the Motherhouse for about three weeks as workmen from American Heating do the multi-phase task of installing the new pipes and heating units.
