Sisters celebrate “south of the border” with Cinco de Mayo

The Ursuline Sisters spent some time “south of the border” on May 5, 2023, celebrating Cinco de Mayo in the Rainbow Room of Saint Joseph Villa. Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s May 5, 1862, victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. The Sisters enjoyed treats and drinks, played some trivia to learn more about the holiday, and won door prizes. Here are some photos.

Sister Catherine Barber gets in the spirit of the day. She is celebrating 70 years as an Ursuline this year.

There are some hombres you just don’t want to run into … luckily, these aren’t them.
