Who was Sister Seraphim? Celebrating 45 years of Rescue

Title: Who was Sister Seraphim? Celebrating 45 years of Rescue
Location: Skyline Country Club
Description: How did an upper-class English woman , well educated and world-traveled with a family of her own,
fight Nazism during WW II even though she was a pacifist?

How did her life’s journey compel her to become a Russian Orthodox nun at the age of 46, bring her to
the Sonoran desert to write an award-winning book, establish an animal refuge and live out the rest of her days helping abused and abandoned cats in Tucson, Arizona?
Her story is quite remarkable.

Join The Hermitage No-Kill shelter as we remember our founder, Sister Theresa Seraphim, with a tribute luncheon. Speical guests who were priviledged to know the good sister during her life will share inspiring and amusing stories about her. A collection of her personal photographs and memorablilia from the early days of The Hermitage will be on display.

Start Time: 11:00
Date: 2010-11-06
End Time: 14:00

Happy 45th Anniversary to the Hermitage Cat Shelter
