All of us can cooperate as instruments of God for the care of creation, each according to his or her own culture, experience, involvements, and talents.
~ Pope Francis - Laudato Si’, #14 ~
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the sixth week of our focus on the gifts of nature.
Our dear Sister Mary Beth Glueckstein passed away peacefully on Friday, September 30, 2022. We thank God for her life, the impact she had through her many years in medical ministry as a BSN, MSN, and MA, and the brilliance and compassion she shared with all those with whom she lived and served.
