Congratulations! Marion Marshall

​  The permanent profession of Marion Marshall took place during the 11:00 am mass on Sunday, March 10, 2019 at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Cornwall. Fr. Doug MacDonald presided the Eucharist and Secular Franciscans served in the various liturgical ministries of greeters, lectors, altar servers and gift bearers.
​
  Doug Hagen opened the Rite of Profession with a brief admonition on the meaning of the event. Tom Wilkinson, Minister of the fraternity, received Marion’s Permanent Profession after the Gospel and was assisted by Formation Director Martha Gabriel and witnesses Charlie and Janet McDonald. After Mass, the fraternity hosted a public reception in the parish centre that was very well attended. The reception was ably organized by the Hospitality team and the sandwiches and desserts were supplied by all members of the fraternity. Many of Marion’s friends, including some members of the Br. Leo Fraternity, attended the Mass and reception and extended best wishes on this joyous occasion.
