Presentation Day Celebration 2005

Sisters and Associates gathered at Cannon Hill to celebrate Presentation Day 2005 on Monday 21 November with the celebration of the Eucharist followed by supper.

As Mary Franzmann, Congregation Leader, welcomed us, a candle was lit to remind us that we walk on the Holy Ground of our Indigenous ancestors. Three smaller candles were lit from that one to acknowledge the Holy Ground of all present-day dwellers.

Presentation Day Celebration 2003

Ninety-two Sisters and Associates gathered at Manly to celebrate Presentation Day 2003 on Friday 21 November with the celebration of the Eucharist followed by a Cent Auction, the proceeds of which went to the Romero Centre in Brisbane which cares for asylum seekers and refugees.

During the Eucharist, the Associates stood to recommit themselves (left) and Sisters stood to renew their vows (right)

The presider of the Eucharist was Bishop Ray Benjamin and the lantern was a focal point of the celebration

When Sisters and Associates gather, one cannot help being touched by the friendship, partnership, support and peace that prevails

The Cent Auction proved a great hit and was enjoyed by all
