The Little Sisters continue to be blessed by the support of the Order of Malta. The Auxiliary, started by the Order 35 years ago, is thriving.
Again this year, members of the Order of Malta organized the annual Appreciation Day Mass and program, coordinated the ordering of awards, participated in the Mass and present the program during the luncheon. Msgr. Dotson, an Order of Malta chaplain, celebrated the Mass and blessed the awards.
The loyalty of the Auxiliary members is impressive when considering the numbers of individuals who have received high recognition levels. As of 2014, the highest recognition achieved by members is as follows:
35 Years……………….2
30 Years……………….6
25 Years……………. 14
20 Years……………. 28
15 Years……………. 11
10 Years……………. 40
Total………………101 (47 of these individuals remain active today.)
We are grateful for the generosity of so many who contribute their time to assisting with the care and happiness of our elderly Residents.
