gALA 2003

Greetings from Sao Paolo, Brazil, where we have been meeting and joining with the Sisters and Laity in the Centennial Celebration of our first foundation here, the Boni Consilli School.

It is hard to believe that we have already arrived at the Fifth Anniversary of the Cabrini Mission Foundation. This initiative is a precious means to advance St. Frances Cabrini’s mission and legacy of healing, teaching and caring. We realize that the proceeds from this annual Gala and Awards Dinner are a vital contribution which helps us to continue services to those in need in various parts of the Stella Maris Province.

May this event not only strengthen the bonds among us, but also serve to intensify the commitment to serve the mission which has been entrusted to us.

We join you in spirit with our prayers and gratitude as you gather and celebrate the 2003 Gala and Awards. OUR SPECIAL THANKS to Sr. Lucille Souza for all she has done to spearhead this important work for the sake of the good we hope to accomplish in God’s name in this world.

Gratefully in Christ,

Sr. Lina and Members of the General Council
