La Madre Rosario
The principal reason for her visit was to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the presence of the Daughters of Misericordia of Argentina in mission here in Don Juan, Dominican Republic.
There was a four-day celebration that culminated with mass by the Auxiliary Bishop of Santo Domingo, Mons. Pablo Cedano.

All in all it was a wonderful, well-attended celebration of the generosity and commitment of these women and their work with the poor and needy, especially with the children these past ten years.
Sr. Maximina, who initiated the mission here in Don Juan, also came for the celebration. She is well remembered and loved by the people.
Sr. Maximina
Maxie is one of my favorite people. She is six months older than me.
Her heart and spirit is that of a young adventurer in the spirit and love of the Lord. Maxie is a person always open to life. Her generosity and concern for others is second nature to her, and she is always available for the needs of others. Words fail me to express adequately her simple and natural beauty as a person of deep faith and as a loving human being.
