Wow! It’s already the end of March! Our 8th MCS Worldwide Reunion and MCS Former Students (Ont.) 30th Anniversary preparations are well underway.

Our committee started planning back in early 2012. We looked for a historic church for our Celebration Mass, a museum to welcome Maryknollers to our city and a hotel with a scrumptious menu for our Gala. We negotiated the best value possible for our event. We met over 20 times in 2012 and 2013 to iron out all the details. As time passes, we see our plan is coming into fruition. All our efforts are put together with one vision in mind: To Relive our Maryknoll Spirit Together as One.

Now, it is only four months away from our Big Weekend. Registrations from around the world are flying into our mailbox and our gmail box. We have passed our 200-registration mark. We would like your support to help make this event an even more successful and memorable one. Please call all your old Maryknoll friends and ask them to join us.

"Dear Maryknollers,

Sister Rose Duchesne went to God around 5:20 or 5:30 this morning, 2014, February 22. The nurse found her and notified Molly and CLT and Rogers Coordinators etc. I got there around 5:40 as they came to get me.

Cathy Rowe was there with the above mentioned and were praying with her.  We, then, went to get the Hong Kong/China sisters. We stayed with her until the Hospice Nurse arrived and then the medical examiner came as Rose had donated her body to science. 

June, could you notify MSS as I do not have an e-mail address for them.  The MSS primary principal is MSS graduate. 

Rose had a very happy dialogue yesterday with the hospice nurse. She was alert and talking. 

Love and prayers,

Sister Jeanne Houlihan"
