Sisters welcome staff to annual Christmas party

Employees and volunteers filled the Nazareth Auditorium early this afternoon for a lunch prepared and served by Sisters of St. Joseph.

The annual event gives the sisters a chance to thank staff members and volunteers for their work all year long, and it gives workers in the sisters’ three Concordia buildings — Manna House of Prayer, the CSJ Administration Office and the Nazareth Motherhouse — a chance to get to know each other.

One annual tradition at the party has become a parody of a Christmas carol, written by Sister Lucy Schneider, to honor employees. This year’s song was set to the music of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.”
