Update from Mother Margaret

March 9, 2021

Dear Friends,

We are delighted to send you this news! We have had no positive cases with Residents or staff since January 21, 2021. The Jackson County positivity rates have continued to be under 10% for a few weeks already. What all this means is that we can start having indoor visits in the mall area...eyeball to eyeball. The visitations will be by appointment through our social worker, and we have sent out a guidance sheet to the family members outlining the CDC guidelines to keep everyone safe. We have missed seeing family members in the facility and we encourage them to take advantage of this precious window of time, as we don’t know how soon our situation may change. We continue to test all our staff each Monday and we all pray that they remain negative. They have been doing a great job!

We are happy to be having this spring-like weather, and the spring flowers are starting to grow. The Residents are going outdoors and this is just great. Sunshine warms our hearts and our spirits.

This is a time of change and growing for us also. Sister Michael Teresa left this morning for our home in Chicago. She will be missed very much by all of us for the cheer she brought to our home and all she did with the begging. She kept us supplied with what we needed. Our Mother Provincial Maria Christine will also be leaving our province in April for the home in Indianapolis, where she will be the Superior.

With full confidence we thank St. Joseph, especially during this month dedicated to him, for his protection of our home, our staff and our dear Residents.

We ask him also to be with you and your loved ones.

God bless you and stay safe,
Mother Margaret
