Sr Mary John's Golden Jubilee

Sr. Tamsin Geach o.p
On August 23rd Sr. Mary John celebrated her Golden Jubilee.  A beautiful Mass with many priests was held at St Peter's Catholic Church Leicester, after which a splendid buffet was shared by Sr Mary John's many friends, sisters and colleagues, including several guide dogs who sat at the back of the Church and behaved (nearly) impeccably. Sr Mary John works with 'Pets as Therapy' with her companion dog Molly, who works her magic every week in the mentally handicapped wards. 

Sister asked for no gifts but rather donations to the guide dog foundation ( https://www.guidedog.org/) as Pets as therapy is run on a strictly volunteer basis, creating everyday moments of magic as they partner with schools, hospitals, care homes and community groups to bring the comfort, companionship and joy of a therapy pet visit to those who need it most.

A total of £2067.22 was raised.
