Following the example given in recent National Assemblies wherein one of the founders of the Ladies of Charity was personified in period costume and gave presentations, the Gallup, New Mexico, Ladies of Charity recently had a guest speaker, USA foundress of the LOC, Catherine Harkins.
Sister Elizabeth Racko, Daughter of Charity and Spiritual Moderator, dressed up as Catherine Harkins. Using Lectio Divina method, members read and shared about Catherine’s life based on an article from the Vincentian Spirituality and Formation book. Catherine stressed that in our lives, events don’t just come as “happenstance,” and God uses our life events to inspire Ladies of Charity to help the poor.
