Happy Fourth of July!


From Bapchule, AZ to Manitowoc, WI,
Sisters celebrate July 4th community style!


The day's events began with a solemn flag raising ceremony.
Our two novices and two Sisters, who are United States Veterans, 
carried the flag in the procession. 


Sister Elizabeth provided partriotic music throughout the ceremony.



Following the ceremony and a Community Mass,
Sisters enjoyed a rousing game of cards!

The afternoon also included a 4th of July Talent Show
in which several of our Sisters shared their gifts!

Sister Angela Paul performed a ballet selection.

Sister Monica displayed her wonderful talent on the guitar!

Even our international Sisters from Vietnam joined the festivities
performing a beautiful cultural dance.


The day's events concluded with an evening trip to the beach along
Lake Michigan to watch the fireworks over the water!


Of course, we could not pass up a stop to the local Dariy Queen!!
