Events
Kicking Back in Kentucky
Sisters and Staff in St. Catharine's got together for a favorite pastime: a summertime picnic!
Some braved the sun, but since it felt like 92 degrees, many picnicked indoors.
The meal began with a blessing and "Happy Birthday” greetings to staff member Mark Medley. The good times continued with awards presented to employees Cathy Edelen, April Donathan, and Gerard Mattingly for 20 years of service.
Then, it was on to the main event - a feast of fried chicken, potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, baked apples, broccoli casserole and dessert.
Everyone was thankful for the seasonal activity and time spent together!
