Clara has made a lot of impressive changes in her life. She has learned to look for the positive things everyday instead of worrying about the negative. She has grown to be more patient with others and become more health conscious and physically active.

Kathy has been a member of the DPD family for 12 years. She is a model for others in her approach toward the residents and has significantly impacted many other staff by her example.  

Clara has long provided a safe haven for the residents of the Alexander House. Over the course of the last few years there have been several serious health issues, death of beloved residents and challenges that cannot be numbered. Though it all Clara has provided a “home.”

Marshelle is quick to put the needs of the House above her own personal needs and calendar, always willing to change around her schedule to accommodate the best interest of the program. For this we are grateful and we appreciate all that she does to make the house feel like a home.

Tascha is truly a model of one who listens and empathizes with the needs of others.  This is demonstrated in the way she extends much patience and generous love for the people that she serves and work with.

Diedre makes a big difference in the agency and in the lives of our residents as she serves with a glad and generous heart.  We are happy to honor her as Employee of the Month!

Carolina has been the director of Gruenert Center for nearly 2 years. She has stepped in and shown great leadership and skill in running the center.

"Almsgiving / Giving” means donating money or goods to the poor and performing other acts of charity.  It is one of the three pillars of Lenten practice. Almsgiving is "a witness to fraternal charity" and  "a work of justice pleasing to God." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2462).  

Through the observance of Lent, O Lord,  You purify your Church every year.  See to it that your children lead a better life  and so obtain the graces they are striving to acquire by doing acts of sacrifice, prayer and penance.  This we ask of you through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son.  AMEN

Lord as I start a new week please help me through and I ask that you stand before me, behind me and to each side of me. Guide me in all my decisions and aid me in making the right choices for myself as well as others that I am responsible for. May this week bring me closer to you in every way! Amen.

What do you do when you have a heart for service and a friendly loving dog?
