Official Visit of the Leadership Team to Blessed Sacrament Province
On October 24th, we visited St Jean Baptiste High School. We were greeted by the principal who took up her new post in July this year and received an explanation about the school from the students of the newly formed Podcast Club. After that, we toured each class and had lunch with the alumni association members and graduates. We had a great time.
After visiting the high school, Ercilia and Yoko went to Central Park for a short while to enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves.
We had dinner with the priest from St Jean Baptiste Church and members of the board of directors of St Jean Baptiste High School, and enjoyed some quality time together.
On October 25th, I visited Iona University where Sister Kathleen Deignan works. We were welcomed with bagpipes and a green straw hat, and then headed to the office of the Deignan Institute for Earth and Spirit, named after Sister Kathleen. Here, we were able to hear about Iona University and the various activities of the professors. Sister Sophie was also able to join us via Zoom.
In the evening we had dinner and shared with the sisters from Apartment A of Saint Jean Convent.
