Court St. Justin’s, Mary Lou Delaney has been volunteering for the Senior Meal Program in Twin Valley for 42 years. Mary Lou of Court St. Justin #2020 and her husband Richard have been married for 61 years and have 4 children and one granddaughter. They moved to the Twin Valley area in 1963 and farmed for just over 40 years. Life was busy on the farm in the mid 70’s and with 4 kids busy with school and sports, Mary Lou found Wednesdays were her day to go to town. She would deliver the Meals on Wheels for the Senior Meal program, run errands and then on to a bowling league in the afternoon. In the early years she delivered 6 – 10 meals on her Wednesday delivery route. Over time that grew to be as high as 22 or 24. But now she says it ranges more like 12 – 18 deliveries. Mary Lou loves the visiting and interacting with the seniors she delivers meals to. She says for some, she is the only person they see during the day. As a volunteer she is responsible to connect with the meal recipients. If they don’t come to the door or answer when she visits, she reports that back to the Senior Meal site. The program then does a follow up, to make sure there are no problems. Mary Lou loves to volunteer. Whether at the Senior Meal program, church or the nursing home, she says “It feels good to help people”. She is also proud to say she has passed this down to her children, who also do volunteering. The Apple Pie Award was recently given to Mary Lou from Lutheran Social Services, to recognize her service to the Senior Meal Program. As Catholic Daughters we are very proud of her service in her community as well as her service with Court St. Justin #2020. Mary Lou's volunteer service is a great example of our Circle of Love Quality of Life and Family areas. Congratulations Mary Lou | |||

| Celebration of Life Mass 2017  Court St. Rita #409 of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas sponsored a Celebration of Life Mass on January 27 at St. Henry Catholic Church in Perham, MN. This has been an annual event for the last 30 years. Fr. Matthew presided along with Deacon Randy Altstadt serving at the altar. Throughout the Mass we were reminded of the sacredness of life from the moment of conception to natural death. We celebrated life and thanked God, our creator; for the miracle of life that he has given each of us. As part of the Entrance Procession; the Catholic Daughters selected members from the four area Catholic parishes (St Henry, Sacred Heart, St. Lawrence and Holy Cross) to represent different stages in life. These individuals processed along with a few students from the school, to the front of the church along with the servers, Fr and Deacon with the processional song. Before the blessing, a greeting and explanation was given by Joann Winjum and roses were presented. We were reminded that each stage in life is important, needed, special, unique and has so much to offer in its own way. This year, the stages/phases in life that were represented were: Expecting parents, New born children, Youth, High Schooler, College/Young adults, Those with challenges or special needs and Senior citizens. Also celebrated was the great example the Holy Family has set for us. Participants this year were: Josh & Katrina Nordick, Makenna Kupferschmid and her parents (Brett & Elisa), Jack LaFond, Kolbey Bormann, Thea Romann, Sally Limanen, Rae Giovannelli, and Delores Wasche along with her husband, Joe. A Red Rose, which is a symbol of life; our most basic need was presented to the participants by the following students from St. Henry’s Area school: Marisa & Molly Ruther, Isaac Smith, Carson Byer, Ava Tobkin, Sam, Max & Damian LaFond, Katelyn & Madison Kratzke, & Logan Guck. A rose presented by Alexis Marthaler was placed before the Holy Family; (under the Sponsorship of the Catholic Daughters, Court St. Rita), as a reminder of our belief in and commitment to the right to life of all people. After the presentation of the roses, participants and students joined their classmates and the congregation in their seats. Mass then proceeded as normal. Students proclaimed the word of the first reading, lead the responsorial and other hymns throughout the mass, offered intercessions and presented the gifts at the offertory. Deacon Randy proclaimed the gospel and Fr. Matthew gave the homily. A Prayer for the Protection of Life was offered by Fr. Matthew in conjunction with the intercessions. Throughout the mass, different aspects and stages of life were remembered as we prayed and offered praise and thanksgiving. It was a very touching, inspirational and prayerful mass. As we all know: Life is sacred at all stages. All people need to remember this. We are to accept life as God’s gift, we are to be examples of this and show it in all we do, say and are. How we treat one another, no matter how we feel about them. What we say in different situations and how we act when things happen in life. We continue in life to teach others as well as learn from each other. We are: all God’s children, All family, All connected in one way or another and All deserve respect. Let us help us help each other grow in God’s love and service to him and each other. Let us all treat each other with the dignity and respect we deserve. We are a gift from God to each other. We praise and thank God for all he has given us and ask for his guidance in being all he has created us to be and to become (in his Image and likeness). | |||
