Gifts of the Sisters
The Catholic Principals' Council of Ontario had asked Dr. Mark McGowan to write a series of articles in the magazine Principal Connections on people who impacted the education of the province. One of the articles Dr. McGowan wrote was on Sister Bernard Dinan CSJ and it is in our news section below. His article ends with the words: "Her patient leadership provided wise oversight to the building of a Catholic school system of which 21st Century Ontario Catholics are fortunate beneficiaries." The Sisters' contributions in the field of health care were also recognized in two events, one held at Providence Healthcare, the other at St. Joseph's Health Centre, and both are in the news section below.
