Convent Note Re Superbowl…


You may or may not wonder….how do the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon feel about such things as the Superbowl?

Lots of Seahawk fans!

Part of the Sisters daily routine is Evening Prayer which is said just before the evening meal.

I had to take a photo of the note posted outside the Chapel because this just doesn’t happen!!!

The Fighting Dutch, a combination of one time fierce rivals St. Francis, Roy and Visitation, Verboort, won the third grade volleyball championship in 2013 and came back to play for the 2014 championship with a perfect record!  Would they go on to clinch the Title as Fourth Graders?  Yes!….sorry St. Joseph, Vancouver, well known as an all sport powerhouse from Vancouver, not this time though as the Fighting Dutch won a second championship.

Congratulations to both teams for the great job you do in CYO sports!
