Dear friends,
I hope that this note finds you and your loved ones well. We’ve all been down a rough road, and for some, far more difficult than others. It is with excitement that I share with you that the House is open for worship services again on Wednesdays at noon. Please come and join us! Lunch follows, and we recommend a $10 donation, but please don’t let that stop you from coming. All are welcome here!
We know that COVID-19 is still very much active in our area, and around the world. We are open at this time and welcome you to come and find respite here. It’s still very much necessary to wear your mask, have your temperature taken at the door, answer the all too familiar questions regarding COVID, and to keep your distance while here at the house. But please do come. There’s a special calmness here that is like none other.
If you don’t yet receive our monthly newsletters, please sign up to do so. There’s a pop-up box when you get on the website, all you have to do is enter your email there and it will be delivered right to you each month. In March and April most of our programming continues to be offered via the Zoom platform, as we want to ensure that everyone remains as healthy as possible. In May, our programs will begin back in person, and when possible, also via Zoom. Our dinners will continue as take-outs until May, and then we’ll invite you and your friends to come and share in the community that we all so greatly miss.
I hope to see you soon!
All the best,
Judith H. Reilly
Executive Director
History
When the house first opened, it served as a rest home for convalescent women and those in need of rest, care, quiet, and spiritual help. During the time that the Sisters were in residence, they would welcome those of all faiths who wished to come for quiet hours, for retreats, or just to make a visit. The beautiful grounds were always filled with flowers, gardens, and grape vines.
