Our Motherhouse sisters were able to donate more blessing bags to the local sheriff’s office to be distributed to a homeless shelter in Dover. Donations were provided by sisters in local mission houses along with the Companions of Pauline. The bags were picked up on Saturday along with boxes of bread for a local food pantry in Dover. Pictured here are Sr. Felice and Sr. Elizabeth awaiting the sheriff’s office for pick up of the blessing bags. Thank you to all who are involved in this project!
