Friday, May 29th St. Catherine Laboure
On the evening of May 29th 160 friends gathered for the Second
Annual St. Catherine Laboure Honors Award Gala Dinner Celebration. This
year the honorees were Lien Nguyen, a longtime sacristan and
volunteer in the Vietnamese Ministries, Refugio (Cuca) Peralta,
another longtime leader in the Hispanic Ministries, and the Sisters
of St. Joseph of Cluny, who operated and taught in the parish
school for many years.
Kathleen Gorze, the first lay principal after the Cluny Sisters in St.
Catherine’s, introduced the sisters and on behalf of all those present thanked
the sisters present and remembered the sisters who had ministered at St. Catherine’s
from 1952 to 1992. With a meeting of former students and some long-time
parishioners, the sisters shared a variety of stories and were humbled by the
kind words of so many and the fond memories they continue to carry of “their
Sisters”.
