Ursuline Sisters of Chatham

Stretch Forth Your Hand We are grateful to the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development for resources which help us to reflect more deeply on the call to eliminate poverty around the world. Let us seek to do the good that is ours to do. Prayer of the struggling farmer... Lord, Show me the pain of those who are most troubled So that I can learn about the suffering of my people Grant me the courage to serve others Because in surrender there is eternal life Illuminate us with song and celebration And raise the Spirit amongst us May the Spirit flower and grow And give us strength to continue our struggle May we remember those who have died from injustice Because for us they have given their lives Amen https://cafod.org.uk/Pray/World-Day-of-the-Poor

Planning anniversary events during a global pandemic can be interesting! In 2020, as the Ursulines of Chatham mark 160 years of life and mission, we hope you will feel part of our celebration as you enjoy these "Video Moments" featuring our sisters. If you have your own special moment from an Ursuline connection over the years, we would love to hear about it. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to us and to all of you.... who have been part of our Ursuline Way! Thank you to Sr. DOLORES SENAY, OSU for her message.

The pandemic has reminded us that environmental issues are vital to planetary well-being. Our sisters continue to educate themselves with the help of events like the ECOLOGOS ‘WATER DOCS’ Film Festival.

TRIVIA TUESDAY !

November is a special month to remember our deceased loved ones. Traditions from around the world at this time of year have much to teach us. Don’t miss how the return of the butterflies in Mexico brings grace and beauty to celebrations for the Day of the Dead.

As Advent nears, if you are looking for ways to mark this special liturgical season, check out Virtual Posadas. From December 16-24, experience music, art, prayer, reflection, and action in a journey with migrants around the world in search of shelter and protection. https://ignatiansolidarity.net/virtual-posadas/

Music has always been a big part of our lives. We miss singing together. This is a beautiful memory of Sr. Mary Ann (99 years old) and Sr Mary singing "You are my Sunshine"

Apple Cider and Apple Crisp social...Yum! Yum!
