THE BENEDICTINE Sisters of St Martin’s de Porres convent will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of their order with a Mass followed by a reception this evening at their Nassau Street monastery.
The Mass will be celebrated at 7pm by Monsignor Preston Moss.
Archbishop Patrick Pinder will not attend as he is in Rome in preparation for the “Year of Faith” for the universal Church, which opens October 11, ending on November 24, 2013 on the feast of Christ the King. Pope Benedict XVI has called all Archbishops and Bishops to Rome to spend the month of October there in preparation for the special year, 50 years after the Second Vatican Council.
This evening’s celebration by the 13 nuns at No 84, St Martin’s Monastery, commemorates the founding of the community on October 3, 1937 with three Bahamian women — Sisters Elizabeth Claridge, Maria Rahming and Theresa Symonette.
