On Sunday November 14, we organized a Candle Lighting Prayer Service at the day care center in honor and in memory of individuals and families who are affected by Alzheimer's Disease. A small group of lay people joined us, the sisters, in praying for this special intention.
On Tuesday November 23, Reverend Chorbishop Michael Kail, pastor of Saint Maron Church in Youngstown, celebrated this year's Thanksgiving Divine Liturgy for the Adult Day Care Participants and Benefactors. All of their special intentions were entrusted to the care of our Lord and His Mother.
On Wednesday November 24, we hosted the Annual Thanksgiving Dinner for participants, staff and caregivers also at the day care center. The party started with signing and dancing at the music provided by D.J. Mary Ann Shank. All ninety guests received free raffle tickets for a chance to win one of five beautiful holiday gifts. Dinner was served at 12:30 p.m. and all the attendees enjoyed the home-cooked meal prepared lovingly for the occasion. Special thanks to Sister Marie Madeleine, Sister Claudette and Renee Khoury, our cook, for the great variety of delicious food and desserts they made. Finally, on thanksgiving day and throughout the weekend, we took the time to celebrate together by giving thanks to God through prayers, readings and reflections.
