Carondelet Center, Brentwood, was the site for 36 Sisters
of St. Joseph of Carondelet to celebrate March 20 the anniversaries
of their religious professions --- from 25 to 80 years.
Collectively the sisters --- nearly all of them still fully
active in ministries related to healthcare, social work and
education in California, Hawaii and Arizona --- represented
1,965 years of service to the church. The jubilarians who
minister in Hawaii provided tuberose and orchid leis, whose
fragrance permeated the air of Carondelet Center Chapel where
the sisters renewed their vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.
Leading the list among the 2004 jubilarians were Sister
Agnes Joseph Walsh, who celebrated her 80th anniversary as
a Sister of St. Joseph; Sister Mary Adrienne Kennedy, 75 years;
Sisters Anne Therese Grusling, Mary Carolyn Hayn and Leone
Laporte, 70 years.
Celebrating 60 years were Sisters Consuelo Aguilar, Marion
Donohue, Mechtilde Gerber, Claire Latham, Paul Joseph Madden,
Mary Frances Rebel, Rosaleen Russell, St. George Skurla, Ann
Marguerite Souza, and Edward Mary Zerwekh.
