On Sunday, August 15, 2021, the Province handed over the keys of St. Anthony Friary, Catskill, New York to the Sisters of Life, who have entered into a long-term lease of the property.  At a Solemn Mass celebrated in the friary chapel, Fr. Paul Guido, administrator, turned over the keys of St. Anthony Friary to Mother Agnes, the superior general of the Sisters of Life. Mother Agnes, in turn, gave the keys to Sr. Brigid, the new superior of St. Anthony Convent. The liturgy for the Solemnity of the Assumption of the BVM was celebrated in a packed chapel. More than thirty sisters joined another sixty plus congregants for the joyous celebration. Following the Mass the community, friars, and sisters had a coffee hour in the friary/convent hall. It was a bittersweet event, with many of the people lamenting the friars leaving after more than a century of presence. Still, the joyous voices of the sister filled the community with hope.
