My dear friends,

Your overwhelming care and concern at the time of my retirement has touched me deeply. 

With all the celebrations at school, in the parish, and your wishes sent and personally extended, I have experienced the love and JOY that God has promised to those who serve Him.

Special thanks to all who were involved in any of these events:  Father Bill, Father Michael, teachers, school, and parish staff, and members of the parish!  You will always remain an unforgettable part of my life! 

   The Lord has done wonders for me!
   Holy is His Name.
   Among the blessings I've received
   None is valued as much as
   Knowing special people, like you
   Sent into my life at St. John's.
 
   The Lord reward your thoughtfulness as
   Only He can.
 
   You will be remembered in all
   Of my future prayers
   Until we meet again,

  God love you!
  Sister Mary Gwendolin
