 The recent Sisterhood AGM, held on Sunday November 24, was a significant occasion with head Sister, Lubov Nikolaevna Cowall, deciding to step down. Luba has taken on this challenging role for nearly two decades, with her crowning effort being the 75th anniversary celebrations for our parish this year. In his recent article for the Diocese, the rector, Fr Nicholas Karipoff, noted the achievements of the Sisterhood under Luba’s leadership. A great deal has been done in various projects by the Sisterhood for the parish, charitable work for monasteries and help for the needy. The task of leading the Sisterhood is enormous; it requires a huge time commitment and diverse skill set and is physically and logistically challenging. Luba has taken on this challenge tirelessly and has acquired a vast reservoir of knowledge in many aspects of parish life. Luba is now looking forward to some extensive travel in the coming months and enjoying some more leisurely socialising! We extend a warm thankyou to Luba for having devoted so much of her time and energy to Sisterhood and church life.
A note of thanks too, to the outgoing Sisterhood secretary, Olga Bursian, who has taken on the role for several years. Olga has been tireless in her assistance to the Head Sister during this time, and her contribution has been much appreciated. Congratulations to the newly elected Sisterhood committee: Head Sister – Valentina Brjozovsky Deputy Head – Elena Sosnik Treasurer – Marta Bialocerkowski (continuing in the role from previous years) Secretary – m Nicole Baksheev The Sisterhood are an integral part of keeping our parish running smoothly and often their work is done in the background rather than being on show. Our parish is fortunate to have such a group of resilient and capable workers. God willing, our Sisterhood will grow from strength to strength in the future! Comments are closed.
