Sr. Mary Sylvester's 99th Birthday


Today we celebrate Sr. Mary Sylvester Will's 99th Birthday.  It is a big day for her and for us.  She is an amazing person.  You would never guess she's 99.  Sister is so interested in the world around her and in helping others.  On Wednesdays she goes to St. Vincent DePaul to help bag food for the shut-ins.  She loves this ministry and  loves being able to be a part of it.  Today, when I wished her a happy birthday, she said to me "Can you believe that next year I'll be 100!"  She is so excited about that possibility.  Sister has had a wonderful life and has been deeply blessed by God.  She is so thankful for the gift of being a Benedictine Sister.
