Greetings to all! It is spring in my yard with all the rain. Last August, my grandson got a load of sand for the yard and in his exuberance did not think. He spread the sand one evening and the temperature the next day was well over 100 degrees. I stood and watched all the beautiful grass curl and die. I had no expectations of having a lawn this year, but with all the rain the grass is up and green again. I could not be happier.

The updated prayer list is attached. I did not add a line item for convocation this week. I trust you are all praying, as am I, for our brothers and sisters who will be progressing this time. What a joyous occasion for the community.

Peace be with you,

Sister Mary Francis Deulen, OSB
