2012 Year of Women Religious at 401 E. 20th Street, Covington, KY 41014 US - Women Religious Picnic
At the request of Bishop Roger Foys and in celebration of the Year of Woman Religious the Serra Club of Northern Kentucky organized and hosted a picnic July 20 at the Ryland Lakes Country Club, Ryland Heights. About 115 sisters from the several communities of women religious living or working in the Diocese of Covington attended the event and were treated to a traditional summer grill-out, games and an opportunity to enjoy each other’s company.
“I was so pleased to see so many of our Sisters participate in the picnic gathering held for them and in their honor during this Year of Women Religious,” said Bishop Foys. “It gave so many of us an opportunity to say ‘thank you’ for the wonderful ministry of the Sisters in our Diocese and to recognize how much we value them and that ministry. My thanks also to any who helped in any way provide for the gathering.”
The event was so well received that Bishop Foys has requested that the picnic become an annual event.
