Before Christmas, an unusual request was made to the Sisters at Résidence Marie-Rose-Durocher: to make 200 angels to be handed out to the parishoners at the Christmas Midnight Mass in a neighbouring parish.
Surprise and doubt! How can we accomplish a project like this, of such magnitude, and in so short a time? But, on the other hand: “Why not take part since many members of the local community are available and it would be a way of participating in an apostolic mission with a parish?” Enough hesitation: we accepted and the mission got underway!
And then the worksite got off the ground! You had to see the Sisters, as busy as bees, who looked for models; who found suitable materials; who brought out samples from their own hidden treasures. And the project was in progress thanks to the collaboration, the good humour and the team spirit of each and every one!
Angels here, angels there, they were everywhere: in the community room, in the reception area, in bedrooms. We spoke about them, compared results, helped each other and perfected the models! And unexpectedly, after several days, we had nearly 250! There was good reason to be surprised at these results!
