Holy Saturday 2021
Dear Family & Friends of St Joseph Residence,
We have all marked our one year Covid-19 anniversary with our sights on a return to normal. With warmer days and family visits, our Residents are much happier these days. Unlike last year, our chapel was quite full for the beautiful liturgy celebrations of this Sacred Triduum.
Sr. Frances and her noble volunteers braved the chill of today to receive the dozens of hams (and candy!) dropped at the entrance. Thanks so much.
During the past week, we have welcomed a Housekeeping firm to our team. They have worked with the Little Sisters for several years in other States, so it was relatively easy for them to adapt to St Joseph’s Residence.
Our testing continues to bring 100% negative – thank God. But we still have to respect certain restrictions offered by the CT DPH and CDC: masks, social distancing and hand sanitizing. We can’t let down our guard even during this Easter season of family and friend contacts. Please continue to understand and support us in this effort.
We wish you and yours a very Blessed Easter season.
Always grateful,
Mother Genevieve & the Little Sisters
