December 2020
Dear Friends,
As we welcome a new liturgical year with the start of Advent, we also get ready to say goodbye to what has been one of the most tumultuous years many of us have ever seen. COVID-19 has changed the way we go about our normal business. Working from home, online shopping, virtual school, attending Mass via livestream and meetings on Zoom, have all become the norm. Technology is keeping us connected!
Here, at Mallinckrodt Convent, technology has certainly been a blessing. This fall the Sisters have livestreamed Masses, a Funeral and celebrations for Sisters and friends around the globe. In addition, the Sisters have taught their students online, attended numerous Zoom meetings, provided spiritual direction and even hosted retreats virtually.
As the Sisters plan for the new year, they realize technology is the way of the future. To continue to minister across the globe, the Sisters need to improve and increase their technology equipment and services. Some of those needs include purchasing their own video camera and encoder to continue to offer livestreaming on their website, increasing their Wi-Fi capacity to accommodate the number of Sisters using technology and adding a couple more microphones in Chapel to improve sound quality. For safety purposes, the Sisters also need to purchase four outdoor security cameras to cover areas of the property not currently being monitored.
Unfortunately, technology comes at a great expense. This Christmas, the Sisters ask you to consider a gift to support their technology needs. By doing so you share in their ministry work and bring them closer to each other and the people they serve.
You and all your special intentions are included in the Sisters’ prayers as they prepare for the birth of Christ with gratitude in their hearts and hope in their spirit. Please feel free to list these intentions on the card provided and return it to the Motherhouse.
Thank you for your continued generosity to the Sisters of Christian Charity. Together, let us celebrate Jesus’ birth and all the hope, peace and joy that it brings. Wishing you many blessings of health and happiness now and in the New Year!
With much gratitude,
Casey Dolan
Associate Director of Mission Advancement
