As we enter the final week of Advent and prepare for Christmas, it’s a good moment to pause and reflect. There is no doubt this has been a year of challenge, stress, sadness and darkness. However, there have been glimmers of light shown by how communities have joined together to show love and support during the pandemic. Our founder, Catherine McAuley, would tell her Sisters and early followers, We should be shining lamps, giving light to all around us. May God bless you and those who are dear to you this Christmas and holiday season. May we continue to shine our light!
