Hello everyone,

The frequency of these messages is picking up, which means we have news to share, but it’s a relief to be able to say that the news isn’t all bad. In the past 24 hours we have received news of two new positive cases among our staff. The good news is that this week’s testing for the Residents revealed that they all remain COVID-free. We thank God for that and continue to ask his protection over our Home.

Of course, we know the saying that “God helps those who help themselves,” and we aren’t letting down our guard. We continue to do frequent education sessions for our staff and next week we will begin bi-weekly testing for everyone. This is in response to the high positivity rate in the city, not because of any factors specifically related to our Home.

In the meantime, life goes on, and today for Veterans’ Day we had a Chicago Police Department drive-by to honor the vets among our Residents. We are looking for ways to make the Holidays special and would welcome suggestions or assistance from our friends “outside”, in whatever way it may come.

Know of our continued prayers, and please keep praying for us, too.

God bless,
Sr. Julie, lsp
