We are so blessed by our friendship with Most Reverend Gerald F. Kicanas, bishop of Tucson, Arizona.

In his weekly memo, he wrote:

Tomorrow evening, I will celebrate the 5 p.m. Mass with the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration at their monastery on Country Club Road in Tucson. After Mass, I will be the Sisters’ guest for dinner.

What a blessing the Benedictine Sisters are in our community. Their daily prayer for us is the wind beneath our wings. These dedicated and faithful women continue to seek ways to assist our community. Their prayer and work for vocations encourages our young men and women to consider a life of service in our Church. The Sisters’ historic monastery on Country Club Road is a powerhouse of prayer, and I look forward to sharing an evening of prayer and discussion with the Sisters.

We are so grateful for his friendship and support of our community!
