It is my privilege to announce that at the July 2010 Franciscan Federation Conference Banquet we celebrated Sister Kathleen Anne Copp and her living out of the theme “Passionately Embracing Gospel Living.”

Thank you, Sister Kathleen Anne, for your exemplification of what it means to be a Franciscan Sister of the Sacred Heart in all you say and do.
