70 years and 40 years as a sister! The Hospital Sisters of St. Francis celebrated the Jubilee, the anniversary of a Sister’s profession of first vows, of three Sisters recently in St. Clare of Assisi Adoration Chapel at St. Francis Convent. The Mass was celebrated by Bishop Paprocki and Father Zachary Samples, our vocations director, was the homilist. The Jubilarians are Sisters JoAn Schullian, OSF, and Mary Immaculate Creedon, OSF, 70 years professed; and Sister Emerencia Tirkey, OSF (Indian Province), 40 years professed. Thank you sisters for your vocation!

We pray that you experience the spirit of Christmas, which is peace, the blessing of Christmas, which is love, from the heart of Christmas, which is Jesus Christ.

Let us be inspired by Pope Francis: forgiveness, social justice, caring for the planet, concern for the marginalized, and compassion for all.

Today we celebrate The Feast of the Annunciation when the archangel Gabriel announced to the Virgin Mary that she would be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

We have chosen this Feast to announce the virtual experience of our Heritage Museum in Poverello Hall. Originally designed by PGAV Destinations (St. Louis, MO) and dedicated on February 2, 2011, our museum shares the story of our Community through our charism to be and to bring Christ’s healing presence. Now, through the creativity of Crowdson Creative Video Production (Springfield, IL), we share this experience with the world.

May all who visit this museum be inspired to recognize their opportunity to be a bearer of peace and love each day of their life.
