Religious Sisters in the Diocese of Harrisburg marking milestone anniversaries of their final profession this year were recognized and honored during the annual Sisters’ Jubilee celebration. The gathering was hosted by the Diocesan Secretariat for Clergy and Consecrated Life and the Diocesan Sisters Council on Saturday, May 31.
The celebration congratulated the Sisters for their ministry and service in their various ministries and religious congregations. The day began with Holy Mass, celebrated by Bishop Timothy Senior. There was also a luncheon for the jubilarians and the members of their congregations who were present for the celebration.
