Appreciation luncheon honors nuns
More than 85 religious sisters attended the Serra Club of Denver’s 23rd annual Religious Sisters Appreciation Day, held this year at Church of the Risen Christ.
The day started with Mass celebrated by Father Darrell Schaffer, followed by a social gathering and luncheon, and prize drawings.
“Our donors this year realized the personal hardships faced by our sisters in today’s challenging economy, and we were able to guarantee from $100 up to $250 of cash, gifts, and gift certificates to each sister,” said Lou Jahde, special gifts chair.
The sisters, he added, expressed gratitude to the Serrans and generous benefactors who made the festive event possible.
Serran Jim Hilger said plans are already under way for next year’s event.
