 SISTER FLORIDA DUHAMEL
Sister Florida Duhamel (Sister Jeanne Eleanore)
celebrated her 100th birthday on February 25th.
Her family celebrated joined her for lunch at Providence
Centre, Edmonton the day before and the Sisters and
staff of Providence Centre joined her the following day
for tea and cake in the dining room. At her request
there were no speeches but the gifts of friendship and
presence to one another were evident. Sister Florida
can be seen at prayer for the needs of the world most
afternoons in the chapel at Providence Centre.
HOLY ANGELS PROVINCE CHAPTER OF ELECTIONS
During the weekend of March 8 -9, the Sisters of Holy
Angels Province held a chapter of elections which was a
time of reflection and prayer using a discernment
process to elect a provincial superior and council for
the next three years. The facilitator, Sister Kathleen
Pruitt, CSJP of Seattle, WA gave presentations on the
awesome task of leadership, the important role of
religious as contemplative critics in the Church and
society today. The work of the weekend was framed
within the context of the charism statement of the
Sisters of Providence.
Sister Gloria Keylor was elected as provincial superior,
provincial councilors elected were Sisters Isabel Cid,
Toyleen Fook, Anne Hemstock and Margaret McGovern.
The new leadership group will take office on July 1,
2008 for a three-year term.
