Jubilee Celebrations

To mark their Jubilees as Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Sisters Kathleen Helbig, Julia Walsh, and Maureen Gillespie recently renewed their vows in the presence of the entire USA Province of Handmaids on July 31, 2011, the feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola.

Sisters Kathleen Helbig and Maureen Gillespie are currently administrators at Ancillae-Assumpta Academy, a Blue-Ribbon School of Excellence in Wyncote, PA. Sister Julia, who serves as a translator in Rome returned briefly to the US to be with her Province for the ACJ Renewal Days and to celebrate her Jubilee.
