Some of our classmates are climbing up the Sears Tower (yes, that's what I called it), as members of the Parkinson’s Peak Performers—a team of people with Parkinson’s, their loved ones, and supporters climbing to make a difference. Here's the link to donate and support our warriors.

I don’t know about you, but a peek inside the convent where our sisters lived is very enticing to me. See you there!

Join us as we transform our Convent into a festive marketplace filled with seasonal delights on Dec 7th from 5:30-10:30pm. Wander through the convent’s historic halls and discover a delightful array of artisan vendors and holiday crafts. Then, cozy up by the bonfires in the convent garden, savoring delicious food and toasty beverages. A limited number of tickets will be available for this event.

Many memories of nights eating Sanos pizza over the years and they were so generous providing pizza for our reunion. End of an era. 😞

“We ordered pizza from SANO’s on Lawrence last night and the delivery person said it was there last night as they sold. I know they have had it up for sale for a few years. They are such nice people and loved their pizza.”

How many do you remember?

50 years plus 1 for us
125 years for Saint Edward’s!

Happy Birthday Sister Elise!

Our own Sister Elise will be celebrating her 107th birthday on Wednesday.

Let’s honor her by sharing the news far and wide.

Can you help us by sharing this message so we can get 107 shares to pay tribute to her many years of helping others?
