<br>service of Fr. Jim Madden.
<br>
<br>Testimonies came from relatives and colleagues and one from a Peruvian who had worked with Jim in the Alti Plano.
<br>
<br>The beautiful spray of roses pictured are from the Maryknoll Affiliates. The other two sprays are from Jim's nieces and nephews.<div class="blogger-post-footer">The comments and opinions posted here are the sole expression of a very twisted mind with an overactive imagination and way too much time on his hands.

On Friday 13th, the Maryknoll choir composed of Fathers, Brothers, Sisters, Lay Missioners, Employees and a few volunteers from off-campus, gave a rousing 1 hour and 15 minute musical tour de force to celebrate the Advent Christmas season.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Under the capable baton of Mr. Christopher Reilly, Maryknoll music director, and accompanied by Mr. Joe Nigro on the organ, the choir regaled the packed house of 325 attendees with works by Mozart and Händel and jazzed up versions of traditional carols like "O Come All Ye Faithful."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sr. Ann Hayden's crystal clear soprano voice soloed on several melodies, including the <i>Magnificat </i>and Fr. Ed Szendrey's tenor/baritone voice was perfect for "Gesù Bambino" --in Italian!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The choir had been practicing weekly since October and in recent weeks added two or three rehearsals each week. Their efforts seem to have paid off as even those who did not attend (or watch on the in-house Channel 15) had heard by word of mouth how moving the evening was.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then yesterday, (Tuesday Dec. 17) the choir got to put their efforts to good use again for a mini-concert on the second floor over at the Maryknoll Sisters.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That plus the mini snow storm that blanketed us for the third time so far this season did indeed give a feeling of Christmas.<br />

<br>
<br>She attended the community Mass this morning with Society members on the Lady Chapel, and after lunch in our dining room with Fr. Dougherty and council members, she was given a Despidida of grand proportions in the Asia/Africa room.
<br>
<br>Hundreds of employees and society members, in addition to Nina's immediate family, attended and enjoyed tasty treats, many of which were homemade by our loyal staff.
<br>
<br>Speakers (in random order) included Fr. Ed Dougherty, superior general; Fr. John Sivalon, former SG; Fr. Art Dwyer, who served on the very first council with Nina back in the day; Maryknoll Sisters President Janice McLaughlin; Sr. Sue Moore; Ms. Denise Schneider, assistant to the US regional superior; Ms. Adrianne Glass, head of HR; Ms. Marge Gaughan, managing editor of MARYKNOLL magazine and moi, on behalf of the rank and file members for whom Nina has been a comforting presence all these years.<div class="blogger-post-footer">The comments and opinions posted here are the sole expression of a very twisted mind with an overactive imagination and way too much time on his hands.

It is with profound shock and sadness that Maryknoll announces the unexpected death of Mrs. Joan Farrelly who passed away earlier today.
<br />
<br />
Joan worked most recently as Supervisor Bank Deposit/Business Office in the Finance-Cashiers Department. Many Maryknollers came to know Joan in the Business Office in our main building.
<br />
<br />
About seventy-five Maryknollers and employees attended a prayer service this afternoon in Mary, Queen of Apostles chapel. Fr. Dave Smith presided, Fr. Mike Duggan lead the singing and Fr. Joe LaMar was lector.</div>

They then visited the Maryknoll Sisters where each group surprised the other.
<br>
<br>Located about two hours northwest of us, they said they had heard so much about Maryknoll they wanted to visit and were truly impressed by our headquarters. They seemed a fairly young group. A quick visit to their website describes them as a "traditional Catholic" order. Someone thought their were affiliated with the schismatic Pius V Society, in which case they are on the fringes of the church. In other words, we have a lot in common.<div class="blogger-post-footer">The comments and opinions posted here are the sole expression of a very twisted mind with an overactive imagination and way too much time on his hands.
