Sisters of Mercy Natalia and Olga, from the Convent of St. Elizabeth in Minsk, Belarus, came to speak at our parish the evening of July 29, 2008. The Sisters showed a video about the work of the Convent, which especially focuses on spiritually supporting patients in hospitals, the homeless, and former drug addicts. After the video, the Sisters took a large number of questions about the work of the Sisters of Mercy, as well as the larger work of the Convent of St. Elizabeth. It was a joy to have Sisters Olga and Natalia with us, and we would recommend any parish have them come to speak on their next “tour” of the States.
