Halloween Bingo at Providence Motherhouse – Kingston
Who said Halloween is for children? Perhaps it is because many of the sisters and staff let loose their inner child in the dining room at Providence Motherhouse. To enhance the environment, the costumes worn by staff and many of the sisters were most creative and some even had us guessing the identity of the person so adorned. As always, safe distancing was observed as the regular Thursday Bingo got under way. Bingo winners are always eager to choose the mystery prize. This week, hidden between the pages of a calendar was the $5 bill. Special treats appropriate to the Halloween theme were enjoyed by all. This is just one of the many opportunities offered to provide socialization and enjoy variety in our lives during the COVID-19 reality.

A five year old boy, dressed in a new grey suit, carried a relic of the newly beatified Fr. Michael J. McGivney, and presented it to the Pope’s delegate at the beatification ceremony last week in Saint Joseph’s Cathedral in Hartford, CT. As he approached the altar the child held both his parents’ hands, but when it came time for holding the relic he did it all by himself.
Birthday Celebrations
On October 22nd, we had a double birthday celebration at the CND Health Care Center. Sr. Margaret Burke celebrated 96 years and Sr. Bernardine Burke celebrated 93 years. Lots of cake, song and friendship was shared with these two special ladies. A wonderful time was had by all.
On Tuesday, October 27th, we celebrated Sr. Joanne MacFarlane’s 81st birthday. We are extremely fortunate for the gift of Sr. Joanne to all of us at the health care center.
