Welcome to our Blog!
We would like to offer an opportunity for some common reflection and conversation on our experience of living with COVID-19. A number of our Sisters have agreed to share their reflections with us on this Blog. We hope this will encourage more of you to respond with your own brief comments; or, perhaps you may want to submit a reflection to us for posting. (Please send to: dsi@curia.op.org )We hope to hear from you! Sr. Margaret Mayce
