December 2021

Dear Family & Friends,

Despite the rising waves of Covid, we welcome Christmas joys. The Home is decorated and our spirits are on the rise.

Last week, one night-staff member tested positive but everyone else was/is negative. It seems like this battle will drag on through the months ahead.

We thank you for supporting our efforts to keep the virus at bay. Violeta (DNS) and Jackie (Infection nurse) are constantly alert to threats and have everyone’s full support.

A good number of Residents will be joining their family Christmas celebrations. We are happy that this is possible but concerned for their resistance. Please protect them in every way possible: masks, distancing, sanitizing, vaccinated contacts, small groups.

You have recently received some State-mandated mailings from Patricia Salisbury, our new Administrator. If you are interested in reviving the Family Council efforts in the New Year, please let her know.

Thank you for your Christmas messages and remembrances. We will have a Novena of Masses asking God to bless you and your loved ones. Have a Blessed Christmas and 2022.

Mother Genevieve & the Little Sisters
