Founders' Day Prayer Service

January 23, 2012 was the 133rd anniversary of St. Scholastica's founding in Shoal Creek, Arkansas. The sisters celebrated with a special breakfast after Mass, and a special prayer service at Evening Praise. Different sisters brought up red roses and held lighted candles as they gave thanks to God for the holy and courageous women who traveled to Arkansas from Ferdinand, Indiana in 1879; for their successors, who faced many challenges as they responded to God's call over the next 133 years; and for the holy and courageous women who continue to respond to God's call to religious life.
