Perpetual Help

The superior of the Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, founded by Maryknoll Father John E. Morris in what is now North Korea, visited the Knoll and their founder's grave with several of their members. Some MK Sisters and Fathers who worked in Korea later enjoyed lunch with them at the Sisters' Center.

June visitors

Several Perpetual Help Sisters are visiting Maryknoll today from Korea. They will start at the MK Sisters Motherhouse for a tour and lunch. After that, Yours Truly has been asked to show them around the Knoll and then take them for prayers at the grave of Fr. John Morris.

As happens every June, the Center has filled up with visiting Maryknollers,  jubilarians and guests. This weekend things get REALLY crazy when 800+ guests are expected. 

The housekeeping and physical plant people have been hard at work getting everything ready, especially setting up tables and chairs under the SEVEN tents that are needed to work around the emergency access paths. The Lady Chapel and Spellman Room too have been reconfigured with seats and TV monitors to focus attention on the main Chapel.

And last but not least a word of praise for our Sodexo Food Service who go the extra mile to accommodate this sudden influx of meal guests.
