MCST Sr. Aurea: Silver Jubilee Part 2

Jubilarian Sister Aurea: at the Reception

The celebration continued. A small reception was held at The Apostolic Nunciature at 7:00pm.

And what's a celebration without the cake (even if its filled with sugar and of course calories)? After all Silver Jubilee is celebrated only once.
