A winter tradition!

On the farm, the year always started with a very special tradition. Mother Bursar, on a nice day, brought the members of the Congregation’s General Council to the farm for a visit, and to see the facilities and improvements. It was a pleasant outing for them, away from the daily routine of the convent.

As they take their leave, our dear visitors are enchanted by their outing at the farm. The happy hours they spent with us have given them a break from their customary activities. What niceties our benevolent God sometimes places in our daily path! The GOOD LORD really is good!
