 In 2006 the St.
Joseph Home was opened for the poor and destitute elderly.
(Dec. 2010:
There are now 50 residents and a waiting list)! |

Early 2006:
Smile and make
believe we have furniture.Then let's
go pray about it. |

The Home was built
but we had a problem; no furniture!
Once again, the Irish came forward and furnished the entire home! |
 4 |
| This is kind of hard
to believe. Look at all this stuff! |
| |
| Pilgrims from
Ireland, England, America and Canada brought over sheets, towels,
dishes and everything imaginable for the Home. |

| Ruza and Mary.
Will Ruza be eligible? |

"You betcha!
Ruza is in! No income, no one to go to, the perfect candidate
for St. Joseph Retirement Home.
Welcome Ruza!
(A few years later Ruza died but she died with dignity and with love.) |

This was a day of celebration! |
