Happy Birthday, Sr. John Mary!

Dear Hearts,

December 1st is the birthday of Mary Teofila Sullivan, Sister John Mary, F.S.E. (Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist): daughter of Darlene and Bob Sullivan, sister of John, Jim, Bobby, Paul, Tim, Mike, Margaret, Ella and Peter, auntie, cousin and friend to all the rest of us.

Sr. John Mary is a licensed marriage and family counselor working as the Associate Director of Ministries & Outreach for the Archdiocese of Vancouver. You can find her working in a multitude of environments--live conferences and virtual presentations--and always bringing a refreshing perspective and deep understanding of the topics at hand.

She is also part of an initiative in the archdiocese called Behold--a team of talented professionals who have created a place to ask questions, connect with others and discover more of God through events, workshops and tools. Earlier this year, Sr. John Mary was interviewed at the Marriage Catechumenate Summit in Texas, to share her vocation story and how she works with engaged couples moving toward and into marriage.

She is working is so many ways for the good of others, yet still manages to be an active part of her immediate family from afar. And Mary is still making everyone laugh and giggle.

Happy birthday, beloved cousin, and may you have 76 more healthy ones, by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of Longevity Aspiration of 2008.

God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.

Love,
Patty
