Decorating Maryknoll Sisters' House

22 December 2007

Still another annual tradition within the Maryknoll community is going to the Maryknoll sisters' home to decorate their house.  A side activity is inviting neighborhood children in to decorate Christmas cookies.  Everyone pitches in with the decorating and then we have pizza. manger scene

Of course the centerpiece of the decorations is the Christmas tree, here tended to by John Morefield and Bill Burns.

Kath Morefield sets up a small Christmas tree on a filing cabinet, with Regina Pellicore working in the background.
Almost every surface gets some ornament
Meding and Alice started off their first decorating party by working with the cookie decorating crew.

Of course, some worked harder than others!

The decorating isn't all that hard and there's plenty of time for people to get together to catch up on busy lives in a mission country.
Time for talking
Waiting for the pizza to arrive and using the time well.
A good time for conversation
Then it was time for homemade desserts and still more conversation!
