So neat that you know her too! It amazes me how easily "connectable" we all can at times be in our Catholic faith :) She was in Charlotte an unusually long period of time, so my family and I got to know Sr. Drita well. She blessed my life with her love and guidance. I tutored at the MC's after-school program and helped with their summer camps while in high school and college when she was there. My family also helped with delivering Thanksgiving and Christmas meals to shut-ins over the years. <br />Wow, what beautiful work you were in and how the MC's were able to help your patients. Before I became a SAHM, I worked at a Catholic maternity and after care program and worked closely with the MC's too (referring clients to each other's programs based on the specific need) as the Sisters started temporary maternity housing in Charlotte a few years ago. <br />I can't think of many better places to have a first date :) <br /><br />Whenever my family needs urgent prayers (or we know someone who does) the first thing we do is call the Sisters. Prayer warriors. :)<br /><br />Praying for you and baby for health, safety, and that you will reach as close to your due date as possible.<br /><br />MaraMarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18256406662221484413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914682495245121962.post-51495712487427764972012-07-05T10:52:04.984-07:002012-07-05T10:52:04.984-07:00Hi Mara,

Before my toddler was born, I worked in HIV social work at our inner city hospital and the sisters took in many of my undocumented or poor patients. My first date with my husband was in their home and their prayers have literally carried me through a difficult pregnancy. Is it the Gift of Peace in charlotte? What special ladies!! Hope your day is wonderful!Keri Sullivan Ninnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960337260204310755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914682495245121962.post-4569200250962800182012-07-03T06:03:27.376-07:002012-07-03T06:03:27.376-07:00We love your sweet (and sassy) 2 yr old!

My husband's family lives in Atlanta. We have the Sisters here in Charlotte too. They are such a blessing. Is Sister Drita Maris still there? Did you know her? She was a dear Sister who was in Charlotte for many years.<br /><br />MaraMaranoreply@blogger.com
