Please select this link to open the pdf document which details the Plenary Indulgence privilege that has been granted to our Congregation during this 150th Jubilee. We pray that the grace of this Plenary Indulgence will renew within our sisters and the faithful who celebrate with us a spirit of Faith, Hope and Charity; deep thanksgiving to Almighty God; increased love for the Church, and renewed fidelity to our vocations. PLENARY INDULGENCE
Filling the Recreation Hall of the 1862 building, the sisters gathered with a spirit of joy and gratitude on the evening of December 23rd to solemnly open the 150th Jubilee Year.
In her opening remarks, Mother Ann Marie recalled the many opportunities for grace in the coming year. The sisters then listened to excerpts from the congregation's earliest history.

After praying for each of the 212 deceased members of the community by name, the sisters processed by candle light through the convent to the chapel singing the Salve Regina.
As part of our jubilee celebration, we honored the employees of the Congregation for their generous service to the Community.
Sisters and employees sat down to a luncheon in the guest dining room at the Motherhouse. The center pieces on the tables were original sketches and artistic photographs of the convent grounds that were given as a gift of appreciation to each of the employees.

At the close of the lunch, the postulants and novices sang a short selection of songs celebrating our Dominican heritage.
