Theologian and retreat leader Sister Joyce Rupp reminds us that before we can say hello to new beginnings, we need to pray our good-byes. This wisdom applies to many of our life’s journeys as we move from dying to rising.
For the past seven years, Melissa Borgmann-Kiemde has served as our amazingly gifted social media specialist, keeping our website and various platforms current and creatively relevant. We cannot count the times people have commented on our “five star” presence in the world of social media.
It is with a twinge of sadness that we pray our good-bye to Melissa in her capacity of Visitation’s social media specialist, but it is also with a prayer of hope and anticipation for her new beginnings: as a spiritual director, and as she and Francois embark on a brand new endeavor with their new bakery!
Anna Dourgarian and Melissa Borgmann-Kiemde
We could never have enough words of heartfelt gratitude for Melissa’s wonderful work in spreading our beloved Salesian spirituality!
An amazingly graced moment happened the very week we received her letter of resignation! Anna Dourgarian (Visitation High School graduate, former Visitation Immersion Program volunteer, and Visitation Companion) appeared on the scene and will take over where Melissa left off. She brings a variety of technological gifts and a love for our spirituality to her new position as our social media specialist. It is with grateful hearts that we pray our hello to our dear Anna!
These two women will always be our Visitation Sisters! Thank you, Holy Spirit!
