On Sunday, July 7th, 2019 the SSpS Sisters at the Convent of the Holy Spirit were privileged to welcome the 'Techny Chapter of the Knights of Columbus'. Annually, the Knights and their families pray and visit with us. By means of this visit, in their words: Corporate Communion of sharing bread at the Eucharist and at a table, the KoC express support of religious life. We always look forward to their visit and the opportunity to fill each other on what has happened in our lives and mission in the past months. Thank you Knights for strengthening the bonds of communion.

At 2:00 p.m. that Monday, April 29, 2019, we all assembled under the canopies set up for the gathering and the celebration. Fr. Frank Power, SVD, (Pastor) led the opening prayer. Ms. Margaret George, chair of the school board, gave the welcome and served as Emcee. Sr. Monica Mabel Balbuena, provincial during the construction, cut the main ribbon. After all the ribbons were cut, Msgr. Ramkissoon blessed the building, and each classroom. Sr. Yuliana expressed thanks to Mr. Mark Kelly, Project Supervisor, and then presented posters expressing gratitude to the various benefactors who contributed. These included relatives of Sisters Jeanne Blie and Marie Louise Jilk, parishoners from St. Norbert’s parish in Northbrook, Food for the Poor, and others. After the celebration, all were welcome to a buffet luncheon. Our sincere thanks to all who have contributed to help make this a big success.
