This past sunday was Super Bowl Sunday, and we here at Providence House decided to throw a party. At last year’s Super Bowl, we opened our house up to the other convents in our province for some sisterly camaraderie and football. What a great time we had! So, to see if we could out do ourselves, we decided to do it again this year, but in an expanded format: we opened the party up to include not only Sisters, but many of our core lay ministers at the parish and their families as well. We celebrated with gusto, and of course great food (a Notre Dame specialty)! What a fantastic day of friends, family and community! We had kids sitting on the floors, husbands and wives rallying team spirit for each team’s cheering sections, and the Sisters, of course, screaming with great enthusiasm “Go Saints!”
Sharing time with our friends and families reminds us what a wonderful gift we have in each other, and the places where we come together are indeed holy. I’ve found that the Glory of God can be found in the most common of places, and last Sunday it was in a convent living room with our beloved friends and family.
Blessings!
