On November 7, 2010 a memorial service was held honoring the memory of 42 residents who now walk with the Lord. Fr. Larry Nolan officiated at the service with the Knights of Columbus, Pandora Porcase and the Contemporary Ensemble Musicians from Seton Parish - Pickerington and the Hand bell Choir - Fellowship of the Ring from Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Columbus. Scripture readings, reflections and poetry as well as music added to this special program. The Ceremony of the Candles was a very heart-warming part of the program where each former resident was remembered by name and a candle was lighted.
In the spirit of Hospitality all guests gathered in the city center for refreshments and camaraderie. Guests shared closeness at this time of life celebration.

"All God's critters got a place in the choir Some sing low, some sing higher Some sing out loud on the telephone wire And some just clap their hands, or paws Or anything they got. "All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all."

26th Anniversary of the death of the Foundress of the
Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm
January 21, 2010

January 21, 2010 Theme: Mother and Friend to Priests
This theme was selected during the Year of Priests proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI because part of the charism of Mother Angeline bequeathed to the Congregation and Church was her profound love and respect for Christ’s priests. For every seminarian, priest and bishop, she was a dear friend and a loving mother and one who remembered each in prayer and through a thousand loving acts.

10:00am Mass began with a procession representing mother’s history of life: The procession represents Mother Angeline’s history of life:

Flags- Ireland, her place of birth; France- where she entered the order of the Little Sisters of the Poor; United States- where the Carmelite Sisters of the Aged & Infirm began. A tea cup symbolizing Hospitality; The Carmelite Seal; 3 roses representing her dedication to the Trinity; A Key so Mother Angeline McCrory Manor’s door may always be open to those in need of our comforting kindness.

Seminarians

Once again Mother Angeline McCrory Manor is assisting with the Apostolic Works Program of the Pontifical College Josephinum. Five young men are with us one day a week through April 2010. They represent Texas, Arizona, Kentucky, Toledo and Phoenix. Their many activities include helping with Adoration, heading up group conversations, one-to-one visits, helping host the birthday parties and other social gatherings. An October visit to Circle S Farms with our residents was fun-filled with a hayride, selecting pumpkins in the pumpkin patches for the residents and enjoying freshly made donuts and apple juice. Through the visits with our residents they have developed friendships and have been “adopted” by our residents. They have made special friends and have been “adopted” by our residents. They have become part of our family. These times are special for both our residents and the seminarians.
