SEVENTY YEARS — Sister Adelaide Beaulieu, IBVM, celebrated her 70th anniversary in religious life June 23 and 24 with a mass and party organized by her friends and family at St. John the Baptist Parish, Estevan. “It was a blast,” said the almost 90-year-old sister. Born and raised in a Saskatchewan town that no longer exists, she entered religious life in 1942 after a failed attempt to join the army. Former Bishop Klein, then her parish priest, told her instead of joining the army she should enter the convent. She spent most of her years helping in catechetical programs in several Ontario locations. She also did social service work. She returned to Saskatchewan in 1986 and since then has resided in Estevan, where she serves as sacristan at St John the Baptist.
