This , we express our deep gratitude for the dedicated lay employees who care for our elder Sisters each and every day.
Their work goes far beyond the essential tasks of bathing, dressing and assisting with meals. They bring dignity and gentleness to every interaction - taking time to listen, sharing a kind word and making sure each Sister feels seen and respected.
They are the ones who answer the call light at any hour, who fold laundry with care, who pause to share a conversation over a meal or a quiet stroll down the hall.
For a community whose life is rooted in prayer and contemplation, it is a profound gift to know that our Sisters are surrounded by people who treat them not simply as patients, but as the beloved women they are.
To our CNAs: your work is holy work. You are the hands and heart of this ministry of care, and the entire congregation is grateful beyond words for all that you do.
Happy CNA Week, with our deepest thanks and appreciation.
