It was the Franciscan Friars of St. Francis of Assisi Parish who got the day going. About a month earlier they asked if we and the Sisters from Mound Bayou would join them for a meal on Labor Day. Of course! The meal was in the planning stage and Brother Patrick was the cook. Everyone agreed as his reputation precedes him. Sister Annette would make a dessert.

- A picture of praying Sisters would be good?
-
- So, let us pray!
-
- Beef brisket and all the trimmings…yum!
Following a delicious meal and fun sharing with the Friars, the Sisters came to St. Francis Convent for some Sisterly sharing and recreation.
-
- Whoa…an ace!
-
- Ohhhh! A good one.
-
- Look at the size of that pot!
Are we having fun now…when we’re losing?
The day came to a close before we knew it. The sharing of good food and laughter with the Friars and our Sisters from Mound Bayou was so renewing and a great way to enjoy our day free from labor. Evening Prayer together completed our day. Our good byes were said anticipating a next gathering.

- Let us pray to bless our day.
