Being here
for the commitment
as an Associate
of the Order
of the Most Holy Redeemer
brings with it
gratitude for
the many years
we have been here
in this Chapel
Much has happened
during these years
but what has not changed
is our striving
to grow
in our own spirituality
guided by
the Redemptoristine Nuns
Changes will come
during the coming year;
but may our faithfulness
to our commitment
and our community
continue and grow
as it has until now

MEMORIAL
We remember that day
ten years past
An ordinadry day
rising,
greeting family,
friends,
going to work.
They were called upon
to display
courage
in spite of their fear
to help the fallen,
to fight to live.
In the space of an hour
lives were changed forever.
Calling their families,
sending love and goodbye
by cell phone.
They met God together
That day—
The Three Thousand
in two towers.
We remember that day
TODAY.
