Happy Birthday Maureen

Maureen's 70th birthday party. 

The flowers were taken in Victoria. Along with the ducks. Nothing to do with Maureen's birthday. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom just before we left Victoria.

Paula and Barb gave Maureen a beautiful figurine of our Lady of Fatima in honour of the 100th anniversary of Our Lady appearing to Lucia, Jacinta, and Francesco in 1917. Paula made it out of clay.

And check out my video of the birthday girl:

Marian Conference - Ottawa - 2014 and 1947

This lovely audio of Mother Mary Bernadette was taken at the Marian Conference in Ottawa on May 31. She was absolutely trusting in God that she would be able to obtain a statue of our Lady for the conference.

More information on the conference here.

I wasn't there but my sister Maureen taped the talk.

The beautiful pictures below of Mary were taken by Paul Lauzon.

Also see Maureen's extensive coverage of the Marian Congress that was held in Ottawa in 1947.
