Congratulations to our Religious Sisters for their Jubilee Celebrations - June 28, 2026

Congratulations to Sr. Regina Gallo, who celebrated her 25th Jubilee as a Sister of Providence on June 28, 2026, at St. Mary of the Woods, IN - Sr. Regina works at Ascension and St. Edmund Parish Office. Their foundress is St. Mother Theodore Guerin.

Congratulations to Sr. Sarah Martz, OSF, Ascension Choir member, who celebrated her 20-year jubilee with the Sisters of St. Francis, Clinton, Iowa. Several choir members and the parish Director of Music and Liturgy traveled to provide music at Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace Church. The community also celebrated Sr. Maria Zeiman, OSF, on her 75th anniversary! A former Ascension member, Maria, founded the first L’Arche House in the Chicago area on Austin Blvd.

“It is you, O God, who invited the sisters into a life of service; service to You, to the church, to all people, and to the earth. As a follower of St. Francis, St. Clare, and St. Mother Theodore Guerin, they have endeavored to be bearers of and makers of God’s peace in the world. We rejoice today in their re-dedication to a life of holiness and service. Bless them, O God. Let your goodness shine upon them and be gracious to them. Look upon them and give them peace. Amen.”
