CLICK ON THIS LINK FOR REGISTRATION INFORMATION AND FORM BELOW WHICH MUST BE MAILED TO DIANE RAMOS TO COMPLETE YOUR REGISTRATION

The ceremony at the Seminary has been cancelled due to the campus being closed to everyone except the Priests, Deacons, residents, teachers and staff.

Our new ceremony will take place on November 4, 2020 at 11:00 am at St. Matthew Church in Lake Worth.  Bishop Barbarito will preside over the Mass.  The scroll of our dearly departed will be blessed and then mailed to the Seminary to be buried under the Remembrance Tree.  The old scroll will be burned, as has been traditionally done in the past.

Fr. Clem has offered to have a light lunch after the mass, so if you would like to attend the lunch, you will need to respond back to Roxy LaChance at our email address pbdccw@gmail.com.  This needs to be done no later than October 27, 2020. Please note that registration may fill up before the October 27 deadline.  Attendance is limited due to the restrictions in place by our Diocese.   Masks will  be required (except for when eating) and social distancing will be necessary.

As you are well aware, this is the "new normal" and we need to be mindful of the health and safety of our fellow sisters, our Bishop and our priests.

Thank you!
Laurie Ulseth, PBDCCW President

 

Due to the current epidemic, sadly we have to cancel the Take A Sister to Lunch event in December.  Sister Vivian advised the Religious Sisters are very frightened with this virus and don't like to venture out much.

We will still honor our Religious with a Christmas card and a note along with a $25 gift card.  If any of them are celebrating a Jubilee year, they will also be sent a certificate of appreciation.

Here's where you come in since the time is approaching quickly and you are starting to have your board meetings. We need a $25 gift card from each Affiliation and even members that would like to donate to our Religious.  There are approximately 75 nuns in our Diocese that we would need to honor and the PBD coffers can't support this expense.  Since there will be no cost of the luncheon, please consider one or more gift cards.  Please only get $25 to practical/general places where they would feel safe going to shop.  To facilitate the mailings, please send your gift cards on or before November 20, 2020. 

I truly appreciate all of you and I pray for you to be generous with your giving to our hard working and loving Religious Sisters.

Please send your gift cards to:
