An Amazing Event
On Sunday, September 3rd, we dedicated the new front entrance doors with a Dedication Service that included a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony followed by a Beautiful Art Sale Fundraiser. Sincere thanks go to Mary Fedy for her hard work planning for the new doors and arranging the celebration. We saw, through Mary’s work, that she is a very talented artist! Mary, Richard and their family members did a wonderful job setting up and running the Art Sale. All proceeds will go to the church to help pay for the doors. Congratulations on such an amazing accomplishment!
Did you know …
that both nursing homes (Case Manor & Pinecrest) are much more accessible these days! You no longer need to set-up appointments, or need to wear a mask while inside. I’m sure the residence would enjoy a visit!
