The bazaar on 5-5-2012 at Chester Villlage to raise funds for the Motherhouse in New York was a huge success, thanks to everyone who helped in the setting up and the many who came to support.

"What a great Fair! Thank you for sending the photos and all the Alum for making this a perfect event. I know many hours of work, behind the scenes and on the day itself made it a success. Thank you one and all.

Sister Rose is still convalescing. She gets up twice a day to walk about 12 steps but does not have a lot of energy. Miriam Xavier is great with a sharp mind in tact. Ann CArol has just returned to the Center from Monrovia, Corinne is still serene and loving.

Love and prayers

Sr Jeanne Houlihan"
