September 2020
Dear Friends of Maris Stella,

It’s September and the summer of 2020 is winding down! It has certainly been a different summer! All of us have been hit hard with challenges, difficulties and sadness but in the midst of all of it we are filled with gratitude to all of you for your faithfulness to Maris Stella! Your support this summer has been overwhelming and the Sisters of Charity and we at Maris Stella are so very blessed by your generosity! It would be impossible to continue our mission without you. You and all of your loved ones will always be in our hearts and in our prayers. Please pray for us. Have a safe and healthy winter. God

Bless you!
Sr Mary and Sr Pat
