CITATION

 

Be it hereby known to all that the Somerville Board of

Aldermen and Mayor offer sincerest commendations to

 

The Little Sisters
of the Poor

 

On this, the 150th anniversary of their arrival in America.

Just four years after arriving, the Little Sisters established homes

in thirteen communities, including Boston, consecrating themselves totally to the service of the elderly poor.

 

The Aldermen and Mayor offer their heartfelt gratitude for the work that the Little Sisters do, and offer their best wishes for the ongoing success of their spiritual mission.

 

Offered this 11th day of October, 2018.
