WINTER 2020 | 11 Volunteer service group members accompany a WBC social worker on a visit to the homes of families who are new to the center. Travelers Share Insights, Adventures, Experiences From Ecuador by Mary Glindinning

It was a journey to the middle of the world when two groups took weeklong immersion trips to Quito, Ecuador, sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Group members participate in a minga, which is voluntary collaborative work, to help build a house.

For some, last fall’s excursion was a family trip: mother and daughter Tina and Tracy Bauer, husband and wife Tim and Mary Moothart, and mother and son Danita and Liam Grant. Travelers stayed at the Working Boys’ Center (WBC), where BVMs served as teachers, administrators, and volunteers for more than 50 years.

Virginia Piecuch (l.) and Helen Gabel celebrated 25 years as BVM associates in December with sisters, associates, family and friends in Chicago. “Being an associate of the BVMs for 25 years means being in a growth relationship with wonderful, loving, believing, strong women,” Virginia says. When she was first invited “to spend an afternoon with BVM friends, I thought it would be a nice way to meet new people and spend a few hours,” Helen says. “Little did I know! That ‘nice’ afternoon turned out to be one of the best things I have done in my life. The relationships I have formed, the friends I have made, turned my life upside down.” A Warm Feeling: BVMs Make Hats and Scarves The 25-year celebration was the culmination of all those to Keep People Warm in Winter years of friendship and love, Helen says.
