For 44 years, Oblate Sister of Providence opens worlds through reading - Catholic Review In a quiet classroom at Our Lady of Mount Providence Convent, Sister Constance Fenwick has spent 44 years doing something schools too often cannot: giving every student her complete, undivided attention.
May we never forget that freedom is not free. 🇺🇸 This weekend is more than just a long weekend. It’s a time intentionally set aside to honor the ultimate sacrifice of brave men and women who gave their life for this country and never made it home, giving you the freedom to gather with family and friends. Happy Memorial Day, SFA fam!
We just want to wish every mother out there a very Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸 To the moms who have lost a child or a mom, may you find comfort and peace in God’s promise of Heaven. To the moms barely holding it together, may you find strength and endurance until better times surely come. You are the glue that holds everything together. The SFA family honors you today and every day. 🩷
