Here are a couple of "projects" around our house right now. The first is a project that one of our novices organized. With the help of many Sister-elves (I know, corny!), they produced 50-60 ceramic Benedictine crosses as Christmas gifts to our neighbors at Benetwood Apartments. This year our annual dinner with them had to be cancelled, so hopefully this makes a nice substitute neighborly gesture to our friends there.
A second "project" is a special collection idea. The committee of sisters who were interested in organizing Advent/Christmas events, came up with this idea in lieu of exchanging Kris Kringle gifts this year. It also satisfies the need we all have to help the people of our city in some way. This photo shows the four boxes into which we can put our donations. Some sisters choose only one, some put in something in all four. Either way, hopefully these organizations will get some much-needed support from the Benedictine Sisters of Erie this Christmas: local needy children and adults, assistance to families at the Mexican border, a group working on Black Lives Matter, and the community Christmas collection cause.
