On Wednesday, August 4, 2010, the Visitation Sisters, in collaboration with Masjid An-Nur (Mosque of the Light), and the Ascension and Basilica Churches, hosted the Neighborhood Night of Peace party in North Minneapolis. Over 500 people turned out for this annual event, which is always held the eve following respective Northside neighborhoods’ “National Night Out” parties. Every year: a meal is served; games are played; there are speakers; and door prizes are given out – as well as school supplies to the first 150 young people who show up.

According to Sister Mary Frances,VHM, the evening is “A wonderful opportunity to bridge city and suburb!”
According to Sister Mary Frances,VHM, the evening is “A wonderful opportunity to bridge city and suburb!” She adds, “[This year] a mission group from Spicer, Minnesota, did a terrific job helping out — along with 2010 Visitation Graduates, Maddy and Clare, who ran games for the youth.”
Present and busy among the masses, Sister Mary Frances,VHM, handed out door prizes and snapped pictures of community members. What follows are images from our beloved documenting sister. Maybe you see yourself here, or someone you know?
Enjoy! LOVE! Live+Jesus!
