Background

For many years the Center at Donaldson hosted an Easter Egg Hunt that welcomed families from our campus and the surrounding community. We are grateful to the coworkers, volunteers, and families who helped make that tradition part of the life of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ.

After reflection on our seasonal events and how they align with the mission and life of the congregation today, we have made the decision not to host the Easter Egg Hunt this year and to conclude the event moving forward.

Why This Change Is Being Made

Over time participation in the event has shifted, and the tradition no longer reflects how our community gathers or engages today.

Rather than continuing the event simply because it has existed in the past, leadership felt it was the right moment to step back and allow the tradition to come to a close with gratitude.

This decision also reflects our commitment to be thoughtful stewards of our time, energy, and resources.

What This Means

• The Center at Donaldson will not host an Easter Egg Hunt this year.
• There will not be a replacement Easter event on campus.
• Our regular activities and community life will continue as usual.

Honoring the Tradition

The Easter Egg Hunt brought joy to many children and families over the years, and we are grateful for the coworkers and volunteers who helped make it possible.

Traditions have seasons. As our congregation continues to evolve, we remain attentive to how our gatherings and activities reflect the life and mission of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ today.

Looking Ahead

The Center at Donaldson will continue to welcome people through retreats, gatherings, and other opportunities that support the spiritual life and mission of the congregation.

We remain grateful for the many ways our community participates in and supports the life of the Poor Handmaids.
