Sissy Ward, who creates awesome, magical center pieces for our Monastery Receptions and other dinners, received a 15-year pin.  She is on the left below.  Postulant Leilani (on right) helped serve coffee.  She is wearing her postulant medal and her postulant apron (which signifies labora, or work), but not postulant headgear.

Two Environmental Services employees had received their 5-year pins, Susan Pearson and Liann Valentine, a couple of days earlier.  Sister Marilyn entertained the crowd of about 83 of the employees with a Christmas story about the charms of belief.

Then Sister Lois, Sister Barbara Ann, Sister Sarah, and Sister Martha took turns reading a prayer of blessing which concluded with all present singing “We Wish You a Merry Christmas!”
