Unusual Events in Our Community that Tickled Our Fancy This Week

CLEVELAND - June 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Sr. Jeanette Marie is the vocation director of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. She shares some interesting events in the Sisters' community.

Anything interesting happen? Any calamities?

Sister Rosario and I traveled to San Antonio, TX to visit our sisters there, especially Sister Bertha who is close to eighty years old and has been very sick, bedridden. She is very dear to us, not only because we lived together for about seven years, but because she is a very prayerful sister, always attentive to her sisters and people's needs, always sustaining us through her prayers.

Something else that is happening is our sisters going home to visit their families. In our community, according to our Constitutions, we are allowed to visit our parents every year for fifteen days (for those who reside in the same country or neighboring countries) or one month every two years for those sisters who live far away in distant countries. Two of our sisters in my community left to visit their parents in Mexico.

Did you have an interesting school event this week?  

Our last day of school was this past Friday, June 7th. Our Lady of Mount Carmel School has a "balanced calendar". It means that we spread the school days throughout the year in periods of roughly nine weeks of class time per two to three-week periods of break time.

Did any school student do anything unusual, or something that everyone took notice of?

The last award given during the Awards Ceremony is the Principal's Award. It holds more importance than getting the first place in the class. It is given to the student in each class that has shown to have "character" displayed through Christian actions such as helping those in need (classmates, schoolmates, teachers, staff), standing for what they believe, showing respect towards everybody, etc. In other words, it is given to the most Christlike student.
