Holy Cross Sisters’ Jubilee Celebration in Aliwal North [2018]Friday, 2nd February, was a memorable day for the Holy Cross Sisters.
Eight Sisters celebrated their Jubilee here: One Golden Jubilarian, (50 years of Service as Holy Cross Sister), six Diamond Jubilarians, (60 years of Service as Holy Cross Sister), and one Oak Jubilarian, (80 years of Service as Holy Cross Sister). The Sisters celebrated their Jubilee in the Sacred Heart Cathedral amongst many invited guests from all over the country. Bishop Adam received the Sisters’ Vows with our Provincial Sr Monica. She is the Superior of the “Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Cross in Southern Africa”. We were privileged that two of our Community, Sr Theresia and Sr Imelda, ware among the Sisters who celebrated. They have given many years if service in our Holy Cross Primary School in Aliwal North. The day was a beautiful occasion. All enjoyed a lovely lunch in our School Hall. The stunning cake was made by Nicolette Hobson from “The Pantry”. We want to thank everyone who contributed to the success of this day, especially the Staff and Learners of Holy Cross Primary School. Sr Bridget Cronin (Principal) & Jubilarians. |

On 14th September 2007 Holy Cross Primary School and Convent celebrated 100 years of the presence of Holy Cross Sisters in Aliwal North:
SCHOOL ANTHEM My song shall rise with gladness, The name and fame to tell. To hail the place I treasure and where I love to dwell. The spot so dear and cherished, To which my heart has grown. My second home of childhood – The Holy Cross my own The Holy Cross my own You are to me a fountain Whence light and truth to draw From you like pleasant streamlets The rays of wisdom flow 'tis here where childhood pleasures Are ever to be mine Where ties of tender friendship All youthful hearts entwine All youthful hearts entwine |
