Congratulations Sister Fran!
For the Sisters of Bon Secours, whom brighten and enrich my life, I am thankful. For my Mother and my family, I am thankful. For the women in discernment, I am thankful. For my coworkers and fellow religious, I am thankful. For each day that awakens the Earth, I am thankful. For all living creatures on this planet, I am thankful. For the fresh, life-sustaining air that we breathe each day, I am thankful. For the individuality so creatively engineered within each of us by God, I am thankful. For YOU, I am thankful. 
This summer the Sisters of Bon Secours will be hosting a short-term service project for young, single women, ages 18 to 35, who have a willingness to serve those in need. Project Good Help will be held in July. Volunteers will need to arrive in the evening on Thursday, the 21st and will finish up in the morning on Tuesday the 26th. The women will stay at the Sister’s headquarters in Marriottsville, MD and work in nearby Baltimore city at a community garden, a drop-in center for women, a family support/learning center and a senior housing center. This will be an excellent opportunity to serve the less fortunate and make a difference in the community. 
This beautiful song speaks of God’s mercy and abundant love.
We continue to observe Holy Week, the sacred days before Easter. We recall the ministry of Jesus, his last supper with his friends, his passion, and his death. On Easter Sunday, with the entire Christian family, we celebrate Christ’s resurrection and the liberation of the world from the slavery of sin and death.
