Greetings,
On Wednesday evening, June 10, Sacred Heart Monastery’s Staff
gathered together in the upstairs Chapter Room for traditional picnic fare
(with an amazing selection of desserts made by the sisters and employees), to recognize milestone achievements and
to have a bit of fun!
Why mention powerhouse? How could
one forget the memorable “Sacred Heart Monastery’s Powerhouse” shirt Keith showed
off? By definition a powerhouse is: a person, group, team, or the like, having great energy, strength, or potential for success.
S. Penny Bingham presented awards to our “powerhouses” of five to 30 years of
service; not everyone was available to be present to receive their aware but was
honorably mentioned. Among those recognized for service of five years included:
Becky Adams (Cook/Dietary Worker), Syndee Dropper (Charge Nurse), and Jason
Erickson (Mechanic); ten years included: Jim Wieseler (Housekeeping Supervisor,
Diane Cameron (Charge Nurse) and Jean Fish (Executive Secretary); fifteen years
included Paul Jensen (IT Technician); twenty years included Liz Brinkman (HR
Manager/Asst. Acct.); twenty-five years included Keith Williams (physical Plant
Asst.) and Jay Magorian (Yards Manager) and last but not least thirty dedicated
years of service included Barbara Hermanek/Peck (Educational Coordinator).

| Sr. Mary Kay, procurator, and Sr. Penny, prioress, joined the recognized employees for a picture. |
Throughout the years, our employees have continued to serve in our home with tender care. We celebrate their diligent ministry for the monastery with a festive meal and more importantly, fellowship at the table. After beginning with prayer, we join them at the table and meet their families and hear their stories. Drawing for prizes for employees followed the meal. We stayed at the table, applauding those whose names were drawn, laughing with them. Many smiling walked away from the
table young and young at heart.
Blessings,
