Please join us for our community potluck on Tuesday, October 28, when we will take time to celebrate the wonderful accomplishments of Sr. Eileen Schuller, long-time member of Canadian Martyrs and McMaster Chaplaincy, as she marks her 60th Jubilee as an Ursuline Sister of Chatham. Sister Eileen entered the Ursulines in Edmonton, where her family lived, and after completing her formation as a Sister, began her academic studies and never looked back. Her studies included a Doctorate from Harvard in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. Sr. Eileen is one of the world’s preeminent scholars in the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Sr. Eileen is a born teacher, not only imparting well-researched knowledge but always taking a personal interest in her students. She has been associated with Canadian Martyrs and ministry with university students since her appointment as a professor at McMaster University in 1990.

She has generously shared her knowledge, serving as a wonderful resource for our faith community. She has given amazing presentations to the Hospitality Team, Lectors, RCIA, and Chaplaincy, grounding them in a biblical foundation in a way that brings it alive. We are privileged to have her as a member of this community, and we offer our congratulations and all God’s blessings as she marks this special milestone. We look forward to celebrating with her at the potluck, and hope you can join us to congratulate Sr. Eileen in person.

If you’re bringing a dish, we’d be grateful if you could drop it off after 4:00 p.m.
