An unexpected thank you

A few posts ago I wrote about a 7th grade girl who contacted our Communications Office and did a report on the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston. I just thought I’d share a delightful sequel to that story. Last week the girls sent me pictures of their completed project and thanked me. So today it was completely unexpected when a big box appeared in my office. In it was a lovely thank you note from both girls who were part of this project and what is called a “Mardi Gras King Cake.” I sent out a note to all the employees in our Motherhouse administrative offices and people came by to sample the cake. The cake was delicious and the gesture of gratitude was so thoughtful.

I’ve really enjoyed connecting with these girls and helping with their project. It turns out that they have connections with the Sisters of St. Joseph who live in Baton Rouge. Who knows, one day someone who viewed their project may consider becoming a Sister of St. Joseph!
