Happy 60th Jubilee, Sr. Pat Eck, C.B.S.!
Sixty years ago, Sr. Pat answered God's call and entered the Sisters of Bon Secours — and what a faithful journey it has been! Already a nurse when she entered in 1966, she went on to earn master's degrees in both nursing and health administration, and was awarded two honorary doctorates. She has led with grace at the highest levels — serving or chairing numerous boards, leading The Bon Secours Health System, serving as Congregation Leader, and receiving the Papal Cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice, the Vatican's highest honor awarded to laity in religious congregations.
But through all of it — through decades of change in healthcare and in the world — one thing has never wavered: Sr. Pat's commitment to serve God and her fellow human beings. Called by God and sent by the Church, she has devoted herself to bringing people to wholeness and alleviating human suffering, especially among the poor and dying.
Today we don't just celebrate her accomplishments. We celebrate 60 years of faithfulness — Sr. Pat's faithfulness to her vocation, and God's faithfulness to her and to all of us.
She entered to live the charism of Bon Secours — to be a witness to the Good News. Six decades later, she still is.
And what Sr. Pat is most proud of? Not the awards or the titles — but simply living out her faith as a Sister of Bon Secours. That is her greatest joy, her greatest gift, and her greatest witness to us all.
Please join us in honoring this extraordinary woman. Congratulations, Sr. Pat! Bon Secours Associates Hermanas Buen Socorro Bon Secours Young Adults Bon Secours Retreat and Conference Center Bon Secours Foundation

On Mother’s Day, let us honor all who nurture, adopting the spirit of Mary’s selfless love. Whether through blood, adoption, foster care, spiritual mentorship, or the tender protection of animals, your care reflects God’s nurturing nature. May you feel seen, appreciated, and blessed, knowing your love shapes the world. Bon Secours Retreat and Conference Center Bon Secours Young Adults Bon Secours Associates

This Mother's Day weekend, our hearts keep returning to a special basilica we visited during our pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi last month — Mass in the Cesi Chapel at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. 🙏

There is no more fitting place to think of than in the oldest and greatest Marian church in the world — a basilica built in the 5th century to celebrate Mary as Mother of God.

After Mass, we stood before the stunning statue of Our Lady, Queen of Peace — "Ave Regina Pacis" — commissioned in 1918 by Pope Benedict XV at the close of the First World War. Mary is enthroned in marble, her hand raised as if to say "Enough! Never again!" as the Christ Child holds an olive branch, waiting for her word. It is an image we haven't been able to forget.

This basilica held a special place in the heart of Pope Francis, who said, "I've always had a great devotion to St. Mary Major, even before I became pope." He prayed here before and after every overseas journey — and in the end, chose to be buried here, just beyond the very statue of the Queen of Peace we visited.

On this Mother's Day eve, we give thanks for the grace of that April pilgrimage — and for all our mothers, those still with us, those we've lost, and the one Mother we all share.

*Ave Maria. Regina Pacis, ora pro nobis.* 🌹 Hermanas Buen Socorro Bon Secours AssociatesBon Secours Young Adults Bon Secours Retreat and Conference Center

We had such a meaningful pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi in April! We prayed for each other, our Bon Secours Family, and that, as Pope Leo said, “In a divided and troubled world, the Holy Spirit may teach us to walk together in unity.” Thanks to our Bon Secours Associates, Sisters, Trinitarians, and Franciscans for helping to sponsor this pilgrimage.
