Associates

The lay associates of the Sisters of St. Mary residing in WNY recently gathered for their Spring meeting at the Spring Lake Winery in Lockport, NY.  Surrounded by the beauty of the setting, they had a time of prayer and a lively discussion on Pope Benedict XIV's January 1st message on peace.  The meeting finished with a tour of the winery, supper, and a long time to relax and enjoy one another's company.
