The Olean Rotary Club presented its seventh annual Service Above Self award to the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany this past week at the Woodside Tavern on the Range.
The Franciscan Sisters of Allegany is a congregation of Catholic women and their associates who have served the poor and marginalized of Bolivia, Brazil, Jamaica, Mozambique, and the United States for more than 160 years.
Last year’s recipients were the Enchanted Mountain Garden Club of Allegany and the Olean Gardens and Beautification Committee. The Olean Rotary Club meets most Tuesdays at 12:10 pm at the Bartlett Country Club, and new members are always welcome.
These Franciscan Sisters are wonderful women. God bless them!
