CHAPEL, MOUNT SAINT MARY'S CONVENT We consider ourselves most fortunate in having a picture of our Lord exposed in the monstrance to adorn a page of our Year Book. The crib beside the altar is also a reminder of all that He has done for us. Every month for an entire day He remains exposed in this little chapel, during which time we know that our Sisters pray long and fervently for our spiritual and temporal well-being. Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, may we be ever mindful of Thee. . PHernardian z 2 es pain moran gee: Siig eechenee ee oe eS a pe ome Re ae ie Ce ee tee
