Salute to St. Patrick
  The heroics of St. Patrick are not appreciated as much as they should be.

Leading with Love: Mother Mary David Steps into New Role as Superior General
With a warm smile, a hearty laugh, and a matter-of-fact attitude, Mother Mary David Riquier, newly elected Superior General of the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady Mother of the Church (SCMC) in Baltic, said she has learned a key approach to navigating in her new position – delegating to others. “I know I can’t do as much as I did some years back,” she said reflectively. “I have to delegate more than I used to, but it is working out very well.
