This past week, the Albany Province was filled with joy, laughter, and sweet treats as sisters, staff, and dear neighbors gathered in the Office of Mission Advancement. The occasion? A heartfelt celebration for the appointment of Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost! With beaming smiles and warm hearts, the group shared their congratulations, love, and prayers for His Holiness Pope Leo XIV.
Pope Leo, born in Chicago, is a Peruvian citizen and was a missionary and Bishop in Peru. Sister Alma Jones, seated in the middle at the table in the Office of Mission Advancement, spent time in Peru as a missionary. In conversation, Sister Alma said, “The people of Peru speak fondly of His Holiness and his pastoral presence.”
Amid the festivities in the Office of Mission Advancement, the sisters were also busy preparing for one of their most beloved traditions – the Annual Spring Raffle! This cherished event brings together friends, neighbors and supporters each year for a chance to win and fundraise for a cause close to their hearts, helping the Sisters of St. Joseph to continue their mission and thrive in community.
Mark your calendar, the raffle drawing will be held on June 20, 2025.
