Jubilarians 2021

 

2021 JUBILARIANS
  75 YEARS

Sister Leah Gauthier, your range of experiences from touching the soul with your gift of music, to your presence to our Bahamian brothers and sisters, to your deep devotion to your many family members, to your love for all creation (especially the little critters) all culminate in your deep prayerfulness; for all of who you are, we give thanks.
 

Sister Frances Gavin, how blessed we have been that you chose to leave PEI and join us after being a Navy Wave during the second world war.  The breadth and depth of your experiences enriched your ministries in health care, especially to seniors all across the north, followed by the multitude of donations of knitting, crocheting and towel making for charitable fundraising.  We give you thanks.
 
70 YEARS

Sister Marie McGirr, a North Bay gal, you are truly a woman of healing.  Your gift of nursing, whether it be “hands on”, administration, or teaching students, you are a shining example of the living out of our ministry of healing, we give thanks.   


Sister Dorothy Regan, your gift of presence has always been your hallmark; from the service you offered to our Indigenous brothers and sisters, to the companionship to your Jesuit brothers, to your loving family, to the complete devotion you offer to all the Second Floor but especially to Pat; for all of who you are, we give thanks.
 

Sister Edith Arsenault, quiet, gentle presence among us.  Woman of wisdom, of faithfulness, of caring presence ever mindful and appreciative of the gifts of others.  You give witness to our ability to serve long after our years of “active” ministry have ceased.  We are most grateful. 
 
60 YEARS

Sister Bonnie Chesser, small but mighty in faith and strength!  Your commitment to live out your call to religious life and service to God is immense as is your compassionate heart, generous spirit, faithful accompaniment of those struggling with addictions, and care for community members, friends and family.  Every ministry you lend your gifts to benefits from your total dedication and enthusiasm.
 

Sister Dianne Bottos, your sense of justice and right relationship have been present throughout your years providing health care to so many, but most especially to the people (and critters!) of Blind River as you serve in the parish, in the hospital, and in the neighbourhoods; for all of who you are, we give thanks.


Sister Diane Guertin, you lead by example in your generous and faithful presence to the vulnerable among us bringing hope and joy even in instances of fear and despair.  Your willingness to share your own challenges and vulnerability gives powerful witness of your courage and trust in God.
