Today Heritage Village and Lodge welcomed a team of volunteers from Maternity BVM's Camp MOSH 2025 who worked hard washing outside windows, picking up litter, pulling weeds, splitting overgrown lillies and transplanting them, filling large planters with soil readying them to be planted on Thursday, and assisting the residents with Bingo. Thank you, Camp MOSH!

Residents from the Village and Lodge attended one final mass with Father John Horan as he has been reassigned to St. Mary Immaculate in Plainfield. Father John has been volunteering to say mass weekly on Tuesdays at 3:15 during the school year for over a year and a half. After Mass he was presented with a St. Benedict Bookmark and a Cookie Cake while everyone got to say their goodbyes. Thank you and Best Wishes to Father John!

(In the future starting June 8th we will be having Mass on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at 3:15pm)

A couple highlights from this week. We had a St. Patrick's Day Party which included Deacon Dale leading a Sing-along. Also, the Lodge has some talented actresses who participated in our Drama Club/Reader's Theater. The title of the skit they performed was "Where There's Smoke...There Can Be Females" which was loosely based on one of our country's first female firefighters.

Heritage Village and Lodge are so blessed to have high school seniors from Bishop McNamera's Social Awareness in the Community Class come on Fridays to volunteer during their last semester. We have some students come during 1st hour at 8am and other students come during 8th hour at 2pm. The morning group does cleaning and organizing tasks while the afternoon group helps engage residents in various activities.
This past Friday the afternoon group played Penny Ante which allowed for everyone to get to know each other better.
