St. Vincent De Paul, Denver, Recognizes Women Religious

Loretto was invited to attend an assembly at St. Vincent de Paul School in Denver to recognize the years of service given there by religious communities: Sisters of Loretto, 58 years; Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, 10 years; and Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, 20 years. Mary Nelle Gage, Cathy Mueller, Lydia Peña, Vicki Schwartz and Sylvia Sedillo represented Loretto.

We were given a tour of the school and attended a school assembly. We were shown a slide presentation recognizing many of the individual sisters who taught there, the second graders sang a special song they had prepared, and each of us was presented a medallion of St. Vincent de Paul. It was an experience of gratitude for all those who have served these children and families throughout many years.
