Dear Sisters,

I want to express my deep gratitude and appreciation to you as you celebrate your many years of ministry to the people of our Diocese. I am thankful for your presence as you bring the healing ministry of Jesus to the poor and aged. The Sister Servants of Mary Immaculate have ministered to the most vulnerable for over 120 years. We are fortunate that you chose the people of our Diocese as your second mission in the United States.

We thank you as your ministry has grown and strengthened over the years. I personally want to thank you for your inclusion of the people we serve at Holy Family Home in the past year. I know that your presence to people who are very sick and dying does bring them closer to to Jesus. I am sure you will continue to be blessed and guided by Jesus as you live the Gospel message each day in your ministry.

I pray for you and the people you serve.

With every good wish, I am

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Reverend Anthony M. Pilla

Bishop of Cleveland
