Events
High Tea in Columbus
A long tableful of nonagenarian Sisters gathered as one today at the Columbus Motherhouse for a special High Tea thrown in their honor. Each guest was dressed in a stylish fascinator that topped off their outfits while they enjoyed delicious pastries and listened to each other's memorable stories. The honored Sisters in Columbus range in age from Sister Diane Traffas who just turned 90 years old today (happy birthday!) to Sr. Pieta Mattingly whose 97th birthday is upcoming. Thank you, Sisters, for the combined years of service and thanks to all who helped make this a special occasion a fun event! Please click here for a few pictures from the afternoon.
