Dear Families and Friends,

Recently, we have had many things to celebrate here. One is the wonderful time the Residents enjoyed performing for the celebration of our Mother Provincial’s Feast Day on July 22. The Residents took parts in singing and dancing to the music of the Beach Boys, (Mother is from Sunny California). They also have been joining in other activities of the Home Movie nights, TV Sports, cooking and crafts.

Other good news, we welcome Karen, our new Development Coordinator and Maureen our new Medical Secretary.

Unfortunately, testing of staff and Residents recently revealed 1 positive staff member, this past week. We will be testing staff and Residents for the next 2 weeks who were in contact with the Staff member. We continue to stay cautious when dealing with all things Covid-related and remain optimistic, but vigilant in our policies and procedures in protecting our Residents, Staff, Volunteers and Visitors.

All of our Residents remain in good health and are happy to be here. We have recently admitted 3 new Residents who seem to be adjusting well. Our Staff and all who help us in our work share the same spirit of making our Residents Happy.

Blessings,
Mother Mary Michael and the Little Sisters
