A Message from the Little Sisters of the Poor

May 20, 2021

Dear Families and Friends of our Residents,

I’m happy to share with you that our unvaccinated staff members, who still must be tested weekly, have continued to test negative. The health and safety of your loved one remains our top priority. Because of this, we continue to follow all government guidelines concerning hygiene, social distancing and infection control as it pertains to containing and managing the COVID-19 virus.

As we mentioned before, vaccinated visitors may visit with their Resident outdoors or in their rooms. After being screened at the front desk, visitors should go directly to their Resident’s room without stopping in other areas on the way. For unvaccinated visitors, visits still need to take place outdoors or in the visiting room near the front desk. For any visits, please call Oglanda in Social Service ahead of time to communicate your desired day/time of visit, or with any questions.

We are certainly grateful for God’s protection over our Home this year and every year. We had a special opportunity to thank Him as we celebrated the 30th anniversary of our Home on May 15th. The celebration began the day before, with a “cookout—eat in” picnic in the auditorium which was enjoyed first by our Residents, and then by our employees. The hot dogs and hamburgers were grilled to perfection by our maintenance team. Many staff members wore their “LSP gear” that day. The celebration continued the next day with a special Mass celebrated by Father Ron Knott. We confide the future years of St. Joseph’s Home to the powerful intercession of St. Jeanne Jugan!

Thank you also for your ongoing patience and support as we navigate the slow process of “opening up.” Be assured of our prayers for all of your special intentions.

Mother Mary Richard
