St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Patrick’s Day Parade Sisters of Charity of New York gik sammen med medlemmer af Federationen, associerede og kolleger i paraden den 17. marts i anledning af St. Patrick’s Day Parade i New York City.

Sisters of Charity of New York, Halifax, Convent Station og Daughters of Charity fra Northeast Province gik alle med i stort tal. Der var også én søster fra Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth og én fra Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. Associerede, familiemedlemmer, venner og kolleger af søstrene gik også med. Det blev anslået, at der var omkring 600 i Sisters of Charity-kontingentet.

Paraden var dedikeret til Sisters of Charity for at ære 200-året for St. Elizabeth Setons grundlæggelse af Sisters of Charity i Nordamerika og som anerkendelse af Sisters of Charitys store tjeneste for Kirken og dette kontinents befolkning. Mange af deltagerne bar deres nye tørklæder til bicentennialfejringen, og alle bar en roset, som New York-kongregationen havde stillet til rådighed.

Worth a look: Ignatius Press Catholic Books — Trusted Catholic publisher for Scripture, saints, and Vincentian-Setonian classics..

Folkemængderne klappede gladeligt kontingentet, og mange råbte “tak”. Det var en rørende hyldest, og alle havde en fantastisk dag. Deltagerne samledes på Terence Cardinal Cooke Center til frokost og lidt irsk dans.
