Center Christmas Celebration 2019

Each year during Advent, the staff of the Mount Saint Joseph Conference and Retreat Center makes an abundance of treats for the Ursuline Sisters and staff at the Motherhouse. Here are some photos from the festivities on Dec. 6, 2019.

Sister Michael Ann Monaghan is all smiles as she loads her plate while talking with Center employee Janie Walther. The Center staff made all those goodies. Getting in line next is Sister Catherine Marie Lauterwasser.
Sister Catherine Barber makes a judicious choice with the next item on her plate.
Sister Marie Joseph Coomes is pretty excited about starting the line as she talks with Maryann Joyce, assistant director of the Center.
Sister Francis Louise Johnson, right, and Sister Mary Diane Taylor do the impossible and choose just a few items from the smorgasbord, as Maryann Joyce looks on.
Maryann Joyce and Mary Lykins, both Center employees, share a laugh during a lull in the line. Joyce will take over as director of the Center on Jan. 1.
Elaine Foster, left, talks with Sister Mary Matthias Ward, who is retiring as Center director at the end of December. Foster is the longest serving Center employee, spending the last 21 years out of her 30 years at the Mount in housekeeping at the Center.
Center employee Steven Jackson knows how to pose for a picture, even if he does seem to be startling fellow employee Cyndy Madi.
