We had promised the sisters of the St. Maurice community (near the Kitchen) that we would have them over to the Centre for Thanksgiving dinner -- until Covid got in the way. This year we finally fulfilled our promise. France does not have a national holiday like Thanksgiving so the sisters learned the story of the Pilgrims and the Native People who got together for a three-day feast in 1621. Since the emphasis today is on the offerings and help of the Native People, our prayer of thanks recognized the Earth, sun, moon, stars, and the Great Spirit who is constantly looking out for all of us.
