Departure of Sister Maynard Paglinawan

This day marked the end of Sister Maynard’s 22 long years of service to the Church.

Sr. Mary Maynard works at the Pontifical Council COR UNUM, "One Heart" for Human and Christian Development which was established by Pope Paul VI with his Letter of Institution 
Amoris officio, dated 15 July 1971.

COR UNUM expresses "the care of the Catholic Church for the needy, thereby encouraging human fellowship and making manifest the charity of Christ" (Apostolic Constitution
Pastor bonus, art. 145).

COR UNUM has the following objectives:

To assist the Pope and be his instrument for carrying out special initiatives in the field of humanitarian actions when disasters occur, or in the field of integral human promotion;

To foster the catechesis of Charity and encourage the faithful to give a concrete witness to evangelical charity;

To encourage and coordinate the initiatives of Catholic Organizations through the exchange of information and by promoting fraternal cooperation in favour of integral human development.

The foundation has the activities for the promotion and animation of the catechesis of Charity:
  *  preparation and diffusion of the yearly
Lenten Message of the Holy Father;

  *  promotion and encouragement of theological reflection among Pastors in order to strengthen the Christian roots of Charity;

  *     fostering and supporting volunteer service.

Sr. Mary Maynard serves in the capacity of an Official at the Cor Unum office.

The following day at 9:30 am, the community in the company of Mother Myriam and Sr. Paola, gathered at the front door to see her off, after posing for a family picture together.
