s we begin to prepare for the great feast of Christmas, we wish to thank
our Associates for their many hours of loving service and prayer given to our community of Sanctuary of
Hope
Being an Associate of Sanctuary of Hope requires one to pray for the community, contribute time, talent and treasure to
Sanctuary of Hope and to help the Brothers and Sisters of Peace (the live-ins) fulfill their ministry. By promising to do this, we become
the Brothers and Sisters of Hope for Sanctuary of Hope.
Therefore, we wish to set aside Saturday, December 19, 1998 for a Commissioning Ceremony of all who have taken these vows. Attending
Associates will be presented with the Franciscan Cross of the Brothers and Sisters of Hope. They will be asked to live the spirituality of
Saint Francis of Assisi: “to walk humbly with Jesus.” The ceremony will begin at 10:00 a.m. in the Chapel.
We ask that, at future gatherings, you wear your Cross as a symbol of unity with Christ and our brothers and sisters of Sanctuary of Hope.
God bless you!
Gratefully,
Willie Etta Jennings and Donna Cermak
