“Be diligent in serving the poor. Love the poor, honor them, my children, as you would honor Christ Himself.”

St. Louise de Marillac

 

In the Spirit of Mother Margaret George

On Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026, SC Associates gathered at EarthConnection in Cincinnati for the “Spirit of Mother Margaret George” Associate Retreat. Participants explored Mother Margaret’s legacy of resilient leadership, “muddy boots” service, and spiritual friendship through the themes Undaunted Challenge, Service Before Self, and Power of Connection. Associate Liz Maxwell brought Mother Margaret to life by dressing in character and reading excerpts from her journal writings. The retreat was facilitated by Associate Patsy Schwaiger and included reflective, hands-on activities such as stringing pearls and molding clay.
