Dearest Sisters,

I wish to express to each of you my most sincere and heartfelt gratitude for all the effort, affection, and care with which you prepared the celebration of my 50th birthday.

Your dedication to organising the party, your attention to detail, the surprises, the gestures of affection, and your joyful participation made this occasion a truly special and unforgettable moment. I felt deeply loved, accompanied, and supported by the great family that the Lord has given us in our Institute.

I thank each sister for the time, sacrifices, and generosity offered to ensure the success of the celebration. The surprises you prepared, the messages, the prayers, and every expression of affection touched my heart and are a precious gift to me.

I pray to the Lord that He may richly reward your kindness and fill you with His blessings. I entrust all of you to the protection of the Virgin Mary, that she may continue to guide us on the path of communion, fraternity, and service.

With affection and gratitude,

Mother General,

Sr. Christine Tee, Smf
