Happy Easter at Summerville
Residents have been busy preparing for
Easter festivities. They have been working
on beautiful Easter hats, cakes, flower
decorations. Our Easter party was a great
success and residents thoroughly enjoyed
the music by Paddy Kelly. Thanks to all
the family members who came out to celebrate with Residents.
William turns 100!!!
Huge Congratulations to
our resident William Ward
who turned the big 100 this
month. William received his
Centenarian Bounty letter
from President Michael D.
Higgins. This was proudly
displayed in a beautiful
frame during Williams
Birthday celebrations!
Easter Reflection
It is impossible to exaggerate the value of hope.
Hope is to the spirit what bread is to the body.
Our disappointments may be many,
Our joys may be small, bur our hope is great.
The resurrection of Jesus is the basis of our hope.
God of power and love, through the resurrection of your Son,
You have kindled in our hearts the hope of eternal life.
Guard this hope with your grace
And bring it to fulfillment in the kingdom of heaven.
Fr. Leo Henry.
Spring Closet Clear out!!
As the warmer weather approaches we would advise residents
and their family members to consider a closet clear out of those
warm winter woollies. If residents would like to recycle any
clothing we will provide a box in the library which will be donated to Sligo Social Services.
We would like to take this opportunity to remember those Residents
who passed away this year.
