On October 4th, the Solemnity of St. Francis, we celebrated the Diamond Jubilee of Mother M. Ingeborg and the Golden Jubilee of Sister Ann Marie. We give thanks to the Lord for the gift of their consecrated lives and years of loving service to the Church. You can see more pictures from the day on our website. Please join us in praying for these Sisters!

What a blessing for these two women to have achieved so many years of faith filled service in your Community.
How many other "Mothers" live in Alton?
Do they get to make a special trip as a pilgrimage somewhere for their jubilees?
God bless Mother M Ingeborg and Sister Ann Marie and all of you!

In our Province, we have chosen to retain the title "Mother" for our former Provincial Superiors.
Currently, we have two "Mothers" in Alton - Mother M. Ingeborg, our former Mother Provincial, and Mother M. Regina Pacis, our current Mother Provincial.
Francis, I noticed that the TAU
Cross is often seen. What is the
story behind that?
thanks,
The Tau Cross is the cross made in the form of a capital T. It was a favorite symbol of the cross of St. Francis.
