IN LOVING MEMORY
BVMs Host Open House
In celebration of the Year of
Consecrated Life, the Sisters of
Charity, BVM invited the public
to an open house in February at
2015 Year of Consecrated Life
the Mount Carmel Motherhouse
in Dubuque, Iowa. “We welcomed our neighbors into our homes and
invited all to join us in conversation and prayer,” says BVM First Vice
President Mira Mosle. “It was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen
relationships and learn more about each other.”
“Lord, for your faithful people
life is changed, not taken away.”
