The Joy of Volunteering at WVC
...love on them. I also shoveled alpaca poo (someone has to do it!). White Violet also has chickens which I fed, watered and gathered their eggs. I spent afternoons in the garden.

Sister Adele Mann
...she e-mailed jokes and humorous stories to friends; she tended plants indoors and out. The Eucharist was always a central part of her day. The sacrament of reconciliation was important, not because she saw herself as a sinner as much as she loved the intimacy of being one of God’s beloved,” shared Sister Mary. “Sister Adele, we thank you for your faithfulness to your family, your friends and your community of Providence. We thank you for your faithfulness to God,...

November 23, 2025: The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
...Reflection Our Gospel this weekend presents us with a paradoxical approach to understanding kingship. Most royalty who ascend to a throne undergo an extravagant coronation with elaborate planning based on tradition, a strict adherence to well-developed protocols, they don impressive attire with a crown of jewels, furs, expensive fabrics, receive a scepter and have a retinue of guests who vie for an invitation and who represent the powerful and the mighty of their time and culture. Within our own country,...
