Sister Cathy:

Sun is shining and I have time to take a breath - has been a push lately with Benefit Concert for Lesotho snjm sisters - went extremely well - raised nearly $10,000 and had an incredible mix of volunteers involved.

Sr Sylvia Jone is visiting from Lesotho, Africa this week and we will have an appreciation dinner for all the performers and volunteers who worked on the Concert.

Co-Workers last night was fantastic - about 15 young adults sharing how their faith has been strengthened as a result of international travel opportunities. Next month we will have a presentation and sharing on the role of Mary in our lives.

Met a new inquirer - woman just beginning to discern her possible call to Religious Life - so wonderful to know God is touching hearts and minds to serve the needs of suffering humanity. Jayne is now moving into our St. Anne's convent as a Candidate. Another sister just moved to our retirement convent in Spokane - Crystal and I visited her this week and she is adjust very well.

I am going for a quick trip to Spokane to attend a friend's 70th birthday party and am so looking forward to seeing the Sisters and cheering on the Bloomsday crowd.

This week I have an interview for Campus Ministry at SU - we will see what God seems to want for my ministry these days - will let you know soon. Prayers for this discernment are very welcome - you are all in my heart and prayers as well.

Sitting here with a new laptop but still without email access - soon very soon this will be fixed and I will be able to again connect with my friends, colleagues, and family.

Halleluia!! Very appropriate for this wonderful Easter Season - everything is blooming or attempting to bloom - I am busy with preparations for our upcoming Benefit Concert - trying to sell tickets to this Heavy Metal and Dance performance is not easy with my age group - even my sister Sue is apprehensive - I tell them they can be open to a new experience - plus for a wonderful cause - our snjm sisters in Lesotho.

Am also going to look for some new glasses - a new look - and on my way over to see my friend, Sister Peggy who is now living and working in Sunnyside, WA - at Nuestra Casa - a small non profit working with immigrant women - doing amazing work with them. Starting up Lightworks again tonight after a 2 week break for Holy week and Easter Thursday - am looking forward to connecting with my small faith group - always so rewarding to see what the Holy Spirit is up to.

Know you are loved exquisitely - at all times and in all situations - Just As You Are - Alleluia Alleluia!!!!
