Dear Father, help us to uplift those around us, creating an
environment where every person feels valued and supported,
old and young alike. Let our actions reflect Your grace; and
may kindness be the foundation of our interactions. Amen.

Final Summer Service Event: Thursday evening, August 21—be involved at a local nursing home. Details in the making! Patroon Farm visit—On July 14, Ann Valley and catechist Ann Vehlies participated in harvested radishes for 2 hours at Patroon Farm with local volunteers. No rain, and a breeze made the environment comfortable. This experience educated us on the intensity of effort required to complete these tasks. We greatly appreciate our farm workers who perform this demanding work for many more hours and days, under more challenging weather, to fulfill the needs of so many. We were blessed with what we learned; we encourage others to become involved!
