“GOLDEN JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS”
SISTERS MARGARET O’BRIEN and ELLEN KEATING
in Magheramore, Wicklow, Ireland – 11 September 2010

The day was truly one full of Thanksgiving to God as the two Golden Jubilarians were joined by family and friends and the Sisters for the Jubilee liturgy celebrated by the convent chaplain, Fr Pat Donohoe SSC. And the glorious, warm and sunny weather of that September day complemented the joy of the occasion.
