Associate Commitment Day: Examining how God accompanies, guides and sustains us throughout our lives

CSJ Associate Assembly Day

For the CSJ Associates and the Sisters in attendance, Saturday, February 16 was a particularly significant day for two reasons.  Not only was it our Annual Associate Assembly Day but it was also the last Associate event to be held at Morrow Park.  Sr. Linda Gregg, our presenter (pictured right), chose a timely and inspiring theme:  Garden Pathway of God’s Gospel on Earth.

Commitment Day 2012

We celebrated Commitment Day on April 22nd at Morrow Park. This was a special day because the CSJ Associates are celebrating their 30th anniversary. Over 70 Associates and Sisters were on hand to learn about the founding of the Sisters of St. Joseph in France in 1650 and their arrival in Canada in 1851. The Galilee Associates Community organized this year’s retreat, which started off with fellowship, prayer and song.
