O n January 7th Maeve O’Driscoll left South

America, having given 30 years of service to

Peru and 22 to Chile.

This time of Covid 19 has been difficult for everyone

and not least for the people of Peru. But that did not

prevent the people of Villa El Salvador from giving

Hermana Maeve the Farewell and Thanks that she deserved.

Representatives of the Passionist

Family, complete with an orchestra,

gathered outside our house on

Sunday evening to serenade and

express their gratitude to Maeve for

all that she had contributed to the

life of the community.

All were wearing masks and social

distancing was observed !

That their love and gratitude could not be expressed by abrazos (hugs ) was very difficult for the

Peruvians .

On January 5th, Fr Cesar, accompanied by the five CP

Sisters and representatives of the different areas and

groups of the parish of Nuestra Senora de la Paz,

celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving for Maeve. The Mass

was live streamed so that many could participate .

After the Eucharist a guard of honour carrying Peruvian

and Irish flags led Maeve to the community centre, which

had been named ELIZABETH HOWARD after Maeve's

mother. (Latin American women keep their own surname

on marriage). The centre was beautifully decorated with

balloons and photos of Maeve, taken while carrying out her ministry over the 30 years. Maeve,

together with Patricia Denny and Nelci Sorlozono, started the parish in 1992 .

When Maeve had cut the cake decorated with the Passionist sign, there was a series of Zoom

messages of Gratitude from the different groups of the parish. Maeve was then presented with

many beautiful gifts to take back to Ireland—reminders of the love of the Peruvians for Maeve

and the high esteem in which they held her.

Que Dios de la Vida te bendiga siempre, Hermana Maeve!
