Each year at the Annual General meeting of the Board of Directors of Becoming Neighbours, the Margaret Myatt Recognition Award is presented to an individual or group who has made a long-standing contribution to Becoming Neighbours. This year (April 19th, 2022) our Sr. Mary Jane Leonard, CND of Presentation Manor, was selected as one of the three to receive this award. Special mention was given to the “Boutique” that Mary Jane and Frances Brady, OLM operate. This ‘new to you’ opportunity honours the environment through the recycling and exchange of gently used household items, clothing, shoes, etc. In addition, the boutique assists many who are financially challenged, as well as being a place for community and sharing. We also thank Mary Jane for accepting to serve as the CND representative on the Board of Directors of Presentation Manor.
A poem composed by Sister Mary Eileen Scott toward the end of the Second World War and published in AMERICA on May 12, 1945. It seems very relevant more than 75 years later…
