Dear Family Members & Friends of St Joseph’s,

I guess our cyclical Covid adventure is really something like the movie “Groundhog Day”. After most of the Residents and staff received their second vaccination, we thought about welcoming visitors and reducing test frequency. Then, a C.N.A. tested positive and we were back to quarantined Residents and twice weekly testing. That will bring us into Lent! We are so glad that all Residents continue to be negative.

We are not going to push the penitential aspects of Lent too much this year! We are going to show the videos of “The Chosen” and hope that helps us all grow in our relationship with Jesus.

For Mardi Gras, there will be Pralines and Hurricanes delivered to the Residents and Valentine’s Day will bring “Love potions.”

Hope you will have a fervent Lenten season – these snowy days remind us that the groundhog’s prediction seems valid.

Thanks for your continued help and understanding.

Gratefully,
Mother Genevieve & the Little Sisters
