Summer Sabbatical

Renew, Reflect and Readjust - a Summer Break

Posted by Sr. Patricia Proctor, OSC in News on Sunday, June 14, 2009 12:00 PM

Our God is a God of many surprises. I’ve been given the opportunity to take summer sabbatical. Yeah!  I think I need it.

I will return in the Fall - refreshed, renewed and ready to roll.

Blessings,
Sr. Patricia
