Recognized nationally as one of Canada’s most prestigious awards for women, the YWCA Metro Vancouver Women of Distinction Awards honours women whose outstanding achievements contribute to the well-being and future of the community.

There are ten categories in this nomination award-with over 100 submissions received. Maryknoll alumnae Wendy Au, Assistant City Manager of City of Vancouver, was nominated in the category of “Non-profit and Public Service.” Wendy completed Lower Form Six Arts in 1973 before she immigrated to Vancouver Canada to continue her studies. Wendy was very active in her high school years. She was the assistant guider of the 19th Kowloon Girl Guides, House Captain of Amethyst House, Captain of School Netball team as well as a member of both the school swimming team and track team.

The Scarborough Fair

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

"I am so sorry to bring you the sad news about our beloved Sister (Rose Eileen) Agnes McKeirnan's passing. Sister passed away peacefully to her Heavenly Father at about 1.30 p.m. today, September 5, 2011.

Sister would be 102 on October 1, 2011. Sister Agnes was not sick but since the beginning of July this year, Sister became weaker and weaker physically and needed oxygen to breathe. Today, her breathing became shallower and shallower. At last, her breathing stopped and she went back to God peacefully. Let us pray for the repose of her soul.

Last week, some former students from both MSS and MCS visited Sister and Cynthia Pon (MCS 1978) came all the way from Washington, DC to be with Sister for the whole weekend -- day and night Cynthia was at Sister's bedside.

Arrangements for Wake and Funeral are pending.

In memory of Sister Agnes, if you wish you might want to send a check payable to Maryknoll Sisters in lieu of flowers. If so, please address the envelope to Sister Teresa Leung, Alumnae Office, Maryknoll Sisters Center, P.O. Box 311, Maryknoll, NY 10545-0311. And I shall email you to thank you immediately. Or you may wish to donate on our web site: www.maryknollsisters.org.

Let us pray for one another at this period of grief and sorrow for losing our beloved Sister Agnes.

Gratefully,

Sister Teresa Leung
