On Sunday June 7th, 2009, Our Lady's Missionaries celebrated their 60th Anniversary with Mass at St. Finnan's Cathedral in Alexandria, Ontario. Bishop Paul-Andre' celebrated the Mass to an almost full Cathedral. After Mass a Dinner was hosted in their honor at the Bonnie Glenn.


The previous evening, the Sisters attended Mass at St. Mary's Parish in Williamstown, Ontario. Sr. Christine Gebel thanked the parisioners for their prayers and support for the last 60 years, and expressed the orders gratitude for the kindness and generosity of St. Mary's Parish. After the Mass the Sisters had supper at Jack's Pub in Williamstown with friends and family from this area. Here are a few pictures of the wonderful evening.
