Twenty-two women religious serving in the Diocese of Helena met with Bishop George Leo Thomas for lunch and conversation May 14 at the Brondel Center in the Cathedral of St. Helena. Four of the sisters provided updates on the work of their congregations nationally and internationally. Sister Clarann Weinert spoke for the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati (SC), Sister Mary Jo Quinn for the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth (SCL), Sister Marie Corr for the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM) and Sister Margaret Hillary for the Dominican Sisters of Grand Rapids (OP). Bishop Thomas shared diocesan updates and answered questions from the sisters. Dominican Sisters Margaret Hillary and Mary Stauder, who began ministering at St. Ignatius last fall after moving from Grand Rapids, were welcomed to the diocese.
