Let’s get to know the Rourke/Lind Family as they light the first Advent candle!
Pictured is Morgan (18), Freshman at Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA; Patrick (14); a Freshman at Cherokee Highschool, and Liam (11), a 6th grader at St. Joan’s. Behind the camera is their mom, Meg Lind and their feline friend, Hennessey!
The Rourke/Lind Family has been coming to SJA for 18 years; “Both Morgan and Patrick graduated from St. Joan's and Liam is still at SJA. I [Meg] am an alumni along with my 6 brothers and sisters. So we have been part of the St. Joan of Arc family for a long time (from Baptism through)!”
The theme for the first week of Advent is Hope. As we enter the Christmas season and near the end of 2020, what are some things that you and your family hope for? What do you hope for others?
“My family and I definitely hope for an end to this pandemic and the effects it has had on everyone! We also hope for continued good health for ourselves and our family and friends. I think what I hope for others during this Christmas Season and into the new year is the hope for more inclusion, more love, more unity and more understanding and acceptance in our world.”
