Tampa Associate Christmas

Tampa Bay Associates enjoyed a potluck Christmas celebration after their December monthly meeting. Meetings for this local community are hybrid or Zoom and room as this group includes Associates and Inquirers living in California, Canada, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Jamaica and Arizona. It also includes some of our Sisters who moved from St. Elizabeth Convent and now live at St. Elizabeth Motherhouse in Allegany, as well as those living in the Tampa Bay area. Those who attended wish that each of them could have been with them to enjoy the prayer and sharing, along with all the delicious food and conversation. Following hospitality, they were thrilled that Father Michael Reyes, OFM, graciously celebrated Mass with us and some of the local Sisters gathered in St. Elizabeth's chapel. 

Goodies for Hospice in NC

Once a month the North Carolina Associate group takes a turn at supplying patients’ families at the local hospice house with a meal. This allows the family members to stay with their loved ones and not worry about feeding their own bodies. Last month, Associate Ellen Nash delivered the “goodies.”
