Marlene DeNardo with Associates and Sisters in Brazil.
In honor of the 50th anniversary celebration of our Sisters in Brazil, we sent 150 beautiful sunflower greeting cards created by our artist, Associate Therese Curotto.  Our gift went "special delivery" with Marlene de Nardo, one of the founding members of our mission to Brazil in 1962. In response, Sister Ani Wihbey sent the following message in the name of the Brazilian Sisters along with lovely bookmarks that have a copy of the banner used at their celebration.  

The exchange of these messages of loving support and simple gifts are  a tangible reminder of our interconnectedness and strengthens our relationship.  As Saint Julie reminds us, "Our charity must not be limited by the love we have for one another.  It must make our hearts as wide as the world."

Dear California Associates,

Thank you for you warm greetings and promise of prayers expressing your solidarity with our Notre Dame Community and the people of Brazil.  We shared your beautiful greeting cards with our Sisters, Associates and friends during our celebration.  Your thoughtful gift is greatly appreciated.  God bless you!  In Notre Dame, Sr. Ani
