As Marists, we love to get together with all our communities in this region. Such an opportunity presented itself when our Grove St. community invited all the Sisters of this region into their community for an open house and New Year Greetings. Tables were beautifully set with a buffet of delicious holiday treats and homemade cranberry-ginger ale punch. People visited the house, some for the first time and we found groups of people all over both floors of our home. Of course, our chapel was the starting point of the visit, as each one came bringing their hopes of the New Year.
What is a party without games? One Sister prepared a treasure hunt that added a spirit of camaraderie and laughs to the day. Teams were formed and a treasure hunt began with the four teams trying to be the first to decipher all the clues for things hidden in different rooms. Some had a lot of difficulty finding the treasures, but perseverance is part of a missionary’s journey and all the teams eventually succeeded. Treasures come in many ways and this day together was one treasure that we continue to cherish.
