So Thankful and Blessed

We had a beautiful Thanksgiving holiday! Although the weather was cold and damp, our spirits were bright and cheerful. It was so good to be together with our sisters sharing a Thanksgiving meal–and almost all prepared by the sisters, too!

The day before–Hard at work preparing various dishes!

Sr. Mary Giuse made a delicious Vietnamese noodle dish while our kitchen helper Diana sliced pineapple.

Sr. Mary Thomas and Sr. Marie Augustine with dressing and dirty rice

Michelle chopping carrots in the bakery. (More on Michelle to come!)

Thanksgiving Day! Sr. Miriam checks out the dessert table.

Fruits and salads!

Sr. Mary Veronica gets some ice for her drink.

Looking over our groaning table.

Some sides and bread–as well as the gravy and cranberry sauce.

The community room was beautifully decorated by the novitiate.

Although we cooked and prepared almost all the food, most of it was given to us by our very generous benefactors. We are truly thankful and blessed to have so many wonderful people who support our life. We are praying hard for all of you!
