Ladies of Charity at St. John’s Inaugurate the “Spes Unica Award”
Juniors and Ladies Welcomed in 2014 Installation
On January 26, the Ladies of Charity at St. John’s welcomed 22 new members, and commissioned an executive committee for the newly-formed Junior Ladies of Charity at St. John’s Preparatory High School at a Mass and installation ceremony in St. Thomas More Church on the Campus. Rev. Michael Whelan, C.M., was the presider and homilist at the Mass. St. John’s, the only Association in LCUSA that is institutionally based in a University, began 5 years ago with the installation of 35 Charter members. Eight new Ladies added to our number, and we welcome 14 young women with the advent of our Junior Ladies affiliates at St. John’s Prep.
The Association is supporting the School Sisters of Notre Dame Educational Center for Women, G.L.O.B.E., a micro-lending program in the Tobin College of Business, they are active in University based service opportunities such as University Service Day, Cancer Walks and Clothesline Week which each spring hosts events to raise awareness of violence against women.
Confirmation Party 2013
The Ladies of Charity at St. John’s were honored to be a part of the Confirmation celebrations for the students of St. Camillus and St. Virgilius 2013. This combined parish was severely damaged as a result of Hurricane Sandy, and the Ladies wished to offer both spiritual and financial support as the students embarked on their final Sacrament of Initiation. The Ladies worked in conjunction with the Archdiocese of Washington to raise funds to provide each of the students with a Bible, a gift card and to celebrate together with a pizza party. The remainder of funds were presented to Pastor Rev. Richard J. Ahlemeyer to help refurbish the parish church building.
Ladies Mary Ann Dantuono, Natalie Boone, Mary Ellen Freeley and Marge Cashin were on hand at the party, along with Sr. Mary Ann to serve the pizza and deliver the gifts.
