An Egg-Cellent Idea
Convent Completes Community Service Project for Easter
The finished eggs and cards were delivered to local seniors in time to enjoy for Easter.
Sisters Patricia Ann Mahoney, Lorita Kristufek and Joann Knaebel put the finishing touches on ornamental eggs.
Sister Carol Ann Papp's eighth grade religion class at Northside Catholic Assumption Academy in Pittsburgh eagerly began working on a special service project on March 13, at the request of Mary Swindal, pastoral associate of the Northside Parish Grouping.
The children set out to make 50 cards and decorate 50 ornamental eggs to be distributed to senior citizens throughout the cluster parishes, but their efforts were abruptly halted by the COVID-19 pandemic that has closed all schools in Pennsylvania.
The sisters at Little Flower House stepped in to finish the project during their down time together indoors. The completed cards and eggs were picked up by Mary on April 4 and delivered in time for the senior parishioners to enjoy!
