This was the motto of our foundress, Mother Mary Hyacinth, a woman of deep faith. The story is told how the Bishop, after accepting our community into the diocese, turned to some practical matters. He asked Mother how much money she had to start the foundation. When she replied, “Five dollars,” he exclaimed, “My child, do you think you can start a foundation with just five dollars?” Mother Mary Hyacinth answered, “I can’t but our Blessed Mother can.” Such faith is part of the spiritual legacy she left our community.

After the work and excitement of the Jubilee Year, it’s time now to withdraw again, into deep silence, recollection and prayerfulness.
