Foundation Day 2004 marks 31 years

MERIDEN, CT (December 2, 2004) - The Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist throughout the world celebrated the 31st anniversary of their founding on the first Sunday of Advent. The day is marked with special liturgies intended to pass on to newer members the story of the foundation and its growth, and to give thanks to God for the many blessings the Community has received.

Each year on Foundation Day, the Sisters at each center choose a new aspect of "founding" that the center will embark upon in the coming year as a way of engendering an ongoing spirit of foundation within the Community.
