Celebrating National Nursing Home Week
From May 8-14, the Sisters of Charity celebrated National Nursing Home Week. This year’s theme was “Dare to Risk a Caring Response,” from the SC Charism Statement. The Sisters of Charity have long been called to know the needs around them and to provide a loving response. Employees, too, carry this call of service and love with them daily. Throughout the week activities were planned, which included a coffee bar and Graeter’s ice cream, resident and staff Bingo, Maggie’s Pub trivia and a campus grill out. All employees were gifted with a new T-shirt with the week’s theme printed on its back.

MSJU Unveils New Statue
On May 4, 2022, Mount St. Joseph University unveiled its new mountain lion statue in front of the MSJ Centennial Fieldhouse. The larger-than-life-size lion was sculpted by Tom Tsuchiya and produced by Casting Arts Technology. In the spirit of S. Augusta Zimmer’s work with MSJ students on Mater Dei Chapel and St. Joseph Statue, the students in the MSJ Art Guild had several opportunities to work with Tom in his studio to help bring the lion to life. A small group of Sisters and Associates were in attendance for the unveiling.
