Foundation Day-December 12
“O Thou God of my heart, my whole desire and only portion consist in loving Thee.
To Thee I devote myself without any reserve and forever.

A Message from the Vice-Postulator for the Cause of Catherine McAuley
Now that the Good Cup of Tea Day celebrations are over, it’s time to look forward to
Foundation Day on December 12.
This year, as in years past, we will be wrapping the
world in prayer.
Each sister, associate and companion, as well as our co-workers, are
invited to pause for a few moments between 12 noon and 2 p.
m.
to pray for the
beatification of Catherine McAuley.
Within that 24 hour period, we will have encircled
the world with our hopes that Catherine will soon be numbered among the Blessed.
