Union: US Province Homecoming and Delta Fest

Sister Maura Fitzsimons, center, and Sister Rosemary O’Sullivan (right) work the booth at the festival.

Every year in October Shaw, Miss., celebrates an entire weekend Homecoming and Shaw Delta Fest. The Presentation Sisters always attend the parade and have a booth at the Delta Fest. They sell all the wonderful crocheted scarves, caps, gloves, crocheted and quilted baby blankets and adult lap blankets sent by the sisters and women of San Bruno, Calif., and Long Beach, Miss.

This event is a great way to meet and socialize with the local people and their children who return for the homecoming.  The sisters also make some money at their sale which helps run the various programs at Presentation Sisters Center. The Presentation Sisters thank all who helped them for another successful friend-raiser and fundraiser.
