The Sisters
look on as Pope Benedict XVI leaves the Apostolic Nunciature.
The days of the Holy Father's Visit to the United States
were blessed ones for our Community. Nine of our
Sisters were present at the Apostolic Nunciature in
Washington, D.C. where Pope Benedict XVI stayed during his
visit to Washington, D.C. They were able to meet and
to serve the Roman Pontiff in various ways and are so
grateful for the opportunity to live our Franicscan charism
of rebuilding the Church especially through our love and
respect for the clergy.
Other Sisters were able to travel with various groups to the
various gatherings with the Holy Father in New York.
They have shared with us the joy they have experienced
through his presence and his words.
We are truly, "saved by hope!"
Because of our proximity to the Holy Father, the Sisters
were captured on video and in photos on his arrival at the
Nunciature. These are some of the links that will show
this great footage:
