Bringing together premier institutions from across the region, the day perfectly reflected the inspiring words of the Mother Foundress: “Let us do our best, and let us leave the rest to God.” The morning commenced beautifully with the traditional lamp lighting and a solemn rendition of St. Claudine Thévenet’s prayer.
