Update from Mother Margaret

December 31, 2020

Dear Friends,

Again, there are several updates that I need to pass along to you since I last wrote to you. Because we are in an outbreak mode right now, we continue to test both Residents and staff frequently. On Monday, Dec 28, one Resident tested positive and was moved to the isolation unit. The other Residents were all negative. Our staff all tested negative. We will be re-testing all staff on Dec. 31 and will re-test the Residents over the weekend. At this time, all previous positive Residents have recovered and are out of the isolation unit, leaving only one Resident in the isolation unit.

I would like to ask everyone to pray for Sr. Gonzague, who tested positive for COVID-19 and continues to be medically treated for complications from the virus. She is under the care of a medical team with close supervision because she does have a pulmonary condition. It is Sr. Gonzague’s intention that I share this with you, so that you can keep her and all persons suffering from the Coronavirus in your prayers. A second Little Sister tested positive at the same time as Sr. Gonzague and today she finished her period of isolation.

We are in the process of preparing for the vaccination. We are working with Walgreens and will be sending you updated information and plans in the near future. We are very excited about the vaccine finally arriving and hopefully bringing an end to this pandemic in 2021.

Be assured we are praying for you to have a blessed and brighter New Year.

Mother Margaret

“It is a difficult time for everyone. For many, very difficult. Let us try, if we can, to make the best use of this time: let us be generous; let us help those in need in our neighborhood; let us look out for the loneliest people, perhaps by telephone or social networks; let us pray to the Lord for those who are in difficulty in the world. Even if we are isolated, thought and spirit can go far with the creativity of love. This is what we need today: the creativity of love.” -Pope Francis
