Belated July 4th Fun
It’s been over a month since we celebrated Independence Day with our usual Gaudeamus (“let us rejoice”), but hopefully it’s not too late to share some pictures from the occasion!

Aspirant Morgan and Sr. Isabel Maria initiate the relay race by twirling around a bat…
…and then, properly dizzy, attempting to use a ball to knock down water-filled cans.
In honor of the Semiquincentennial, some of our younger Sisters wrote and performed a skit: Tarquinia 1776 - The American Revolution through the eyes of the first Passionist Nuns!
“Sr Theresa” enthusiastically reports to “Mother Mary Crucified” the news she just heard: the Americans have signed the Declaration of Independence!
“Mother Mistress” gently corrects her enthusiastic postulants after discovering how distracted they’ve gotten with news of the 1776 Battle of Trenton.
Water balloon musical chairs is a great way to beat the heat!
The postulants are the last ones standing …
Closing the day with a rousing rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner”
