As I typed to line above, I had to stop and think, “What
year is this?” It was a good year, with
a few bumps in the road. A few days ago
I read a little piece that reminded me that the challenges, bumps, we meet are
the things that help us to grow and become better persons…bit by bit.
We’ve already had two funerals this year. Sister Mercita Pipp, age 94 died on January 2nd
here in Clare Residence at the Motherhouse. And Sister Hope Uphoff, age 81, also died on January 2nd. Sister Mercita’s funeral was on Saturday,
January 5, 2019. Sister Hope’s funeral
was Monday January 7, 2019.
The Bloodmobile will be here in St. Francis Hall, Tuesday,
January 22nd (1 to 7 p.m.), Wednesday, January 23rd (12

Sunday we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the
Lord. Let us take a little time to thank
God for the gift our own Baptism. Do you
know the date of your baptism? Baptism
is the beginning of our life as a Christian. Let us be grateful.
God bless you and the activities of you week.
Peace,
