Belmont Sisters Are
Honored on Jubilee
Three Sisters of Mercy Pro
fessed Twenty-Five Years
BELMONT. N. C. — On the [cast
of the Assumption of our Blessed
Mother, Auguk 15, the Sisters of
Mercy of Belmont. N. C., celebrated
the silver jubilee of Rev. Mother Ra
phael and of Sisters Mary Magda
lene and Philomena. The occasion
marked the 25th anniversary of the
making of religious vows by these
Sisters.
The decorations throughout the con
vent for this event portrayed the
spirit of the celebration. The color
scheme of blue and silver, significant
of 25 years of loyal service to the
Divine Master, was tastefully work
ed out. Festoons of silver bells and
tinsel lent an air of joyousness to
the occasion.
The celebration began on the eve
of the festival when Fr. Charles
Kastner. O. S. B., of Belmont Ab
bey, presented a religious picture in
the auditorium of the academy. At
nine o’clock on the morning of the
feast, solemn High Mass was cele
brated in the convent chapel by Rev.
Michael Mclnerny with Rev. Al
phonse Buss as deacon and Rev.
Cuthbert Allen as sub-dcacon. The
address was delivered by Rt. Rev.
Abbot Vincent Taylor, O. S. B., D. D.,
who was attended in the- sanctuary
by Rev. Charles Kastner and Rev.
Benedict Rettger, all of Belmont Ab
bey. Father Anthony Burns acted
as master of ceremonies. Other priests
in the sanctuary were Father Mau-
rus Buckheit, also of Belmont Abbey,
and Father Patrick Gallagher of
Raleigh, N. C.
The chapel was beautifully deco
rated with gladiolus, roses and ferns.
The three jubilarians knelt before
decorated prie-dieux outside the
sanctuary and, just before the last
gospel, renewed the vows which they
had made before the same altar 25
years ago.
Ablx>t Vincent’s address was im
pressive and appropriate. He spoke
of the work accomplished by the Sis
terhoods in general, of what their
service meant to the church, and then
dwelt particularly upon the Mercy
Order of Belmont. He reviewed the
struggle of the little band since the
first days in the state, how. despite
the sterility of the soil and the scarc
ity of the laborers, they had suc
ceeded to the extent that today they
conduct two large hospitals, a splen
did orphanage which cares for over
200 of God’s little ones, a beautiful
academy at Belmont besides many
schools throughout the state. This
happy result. Abbot Vincent went on
to state, is a proof of God’s blessing
on the community.
At seven-thirty in the evening.

But that was in the old days. Now,

which electricity performs to make your
