Thanks to all the Ladies of Charity in Pittsburgh for an awesome week of not only spiritual refreshment but fun. There was a very nice mix of speakers that fit in with the mission of our ministry and I thank you for that. The tours and side trips were perfect since they allowed us to see your city and the tour guides were the best!!!!! It was great to see and meet so many Ladies from all over the USA.
Can’t wait for for Nashville.

CONGRATULATIONS to Peggy Keene, Ruth Punturi and all the Pittsburgh Ladies of Charity for all the work that was done to make the Pittsburgh National Assembly such a GREAT ONE! May God continue to bless each of you as you continue your ministries in your local parishes. It was wonderful to be with so many Ladies of Charity from across the country. I’m sure Sts. Vincent, Louise, Elizabeth and Catherine were smiling down upon us. THANKS A MILLION!

This was a beautifully done assembly and I am thankful to the Ladies of Charity of Pittsburgh for their perseverance, to all of the Ladies of Charity USA, Daughters of Charity, Sisters of Charity, priests, Vincentians and otherwise, lay speakers , the LCUSA staff , the audio visual team et al for providing such an inspiring few days. For the first time, my two daughters and husband attended. They were very impressed and grateful. The William Penn Omni staff was unbelievably gracious and considerate to our needs. Another plus was the fact that we had fun on the boat trip See y’all in Nashville in 2010, God-willing.

This was my first Assembly and I must say that I was so inspired by the wonderful work the LCUSA does locally, nationally and internationally. The work you do makes me proud as a Catholic and as a woman. So proud, in fact that I am applying for membership with the St. John’s University LCUSA chapter. It was a privilege to be with you, to meet so many of you, and to be able to photograph and document this wonderful assembly. I look forward to future endeavors with you. God Bless You All!

Thank you Ladies of Charity of Pittsburgh! You planned and hosted a wonderful gathering of women. The mission was woven through the speakers, the workshops, the special events and the care and hospitality to offered to each of us. You certainly made St. Louise, St. Vincent and St. Elizabeth proud. Thank you.

I am so happy that everyone enjoyed the assembly and benefited from all that our speakers had to offer. This assembly was not just the work of two people. We had a core committee of twelve and eighteen different committees each with a chair and co-chair. Not to mention all the ladies around the diocese who helped in many different ways, our choir, all the volunteers and all the hands that made the cookies. It was everyone contributing their gifts that made this assembly what it was.
Working on this assembly was a joy and a gift. God has been holding our hands each and everyday for the last three years. I am sure he is with the ladies from Nashville now as they plan for next year. We love all the ladies all over our wonderful country and abroad.
