Felt genuinely uplifted heading back to my old stomping grounds at La Salle College today, joining the Legion of Mary OLF presidium to observe the younger members deliver their yearly summary. Each March, I carve out space in my schedule for these visits whenever feasible—this presentation marks the group’s informal anniversary.
Once wrapped, we traditionally head to a nearby spot for a shared meal, toasting the occasion while reflecting on the volunteer efforts in community outreach and Catholic faith-building activities from the prior twelve months.
Pleased to spot several veterans in attendance this time around. One standout was a longtime participant whose son now belongs to the same circle, creating this touching generational link that added a layer of warmth to the proceedings. What touched me most, though, was spotting our guiding instructor, Mrs. Mary Cheung, who squeezed in time amid her packed commitments for such a significant milestone.
Reuniting with an educator I hadn’t crossed paths with in ages led to open, effortless exchanges; her sharp recall of my details and history left a strong impression—proof of the dedication it takes to teach effectively, blending attentiveness with genuine concern.
