Over 100 kids enjoyed weeklong summer experiences thanks largely to the Cuno Foundation and the Ion Bank Foundation. Because of their generous assistance, our Franciscan Land-Based Summer Experiences brought even more children together with the land, animals, and challenging leadership games. Sister Josina Marie was able to show off our new baby lamb, Sister Mary Mercy helped teach the children how to care for goats, and Sister Fiat Marie is pictured leading meaningful reflection time after some challenging exercises.
