Partnership Circle

Thank you for visiting our Partnership Circle where this edition recognizes the valuable contributions of SR. MARIE PAULINE GUILLEMETTE, DHS as a life-givng ‘partner’  in the USA Province of the Daughters of the Holy Spirit.

Marie Pauline just celebrated her 60^th jubilee as a DHS.  Since her profession of vows in 1965 Sister has traveled many miles nationally and internationally and has carried out various ministries in the USA, Africa, Great Britain.  Currently Sister resides in Willimantic, Connecticut and participates in multiple activites in her local parish , in the city and in St. Joseph Living Center where there is a community of DHS residents.  Marie Pauline is also a designated driver for the Daughters in the area.  On most weekdays Sister drives to our Development Office in Putnam to assist our Director with a multitude of tasks from addressing envelopes to the ongoing updating of file info and addresses for Putnam Catholic Academy Alumni.  Our honoree is flexible and willing to change course instantly.

Sister’s daily routine also often finds her lending a helping hand or eye to Sister Lesley Despathy in setting up and preparing hand made jewelry for sales on behalf of St. James Catholic School at local events all year round.  Simply stated, Sister makes good use of each day and never seems to tire.  She always finds room in her schedule to visit shut-ins at home or in nursing facilities.  You may also find her entertaining individuals and groups with her guitar/harmonica and drum playing skills.  When asked what follows on her schedue, she always replies with a giggle, “Let’s see what the Lord has planned.”

We salute you, Marie Pauline, and thank you for being our “partner” as we continue to positively impact the lives of so many whose paths intersect with ours on our common earthly journey  to make life good for all, just as God intends it to be.
