To see more pictures of sweet couples, please visit our Facebook page.
| | | | Let us begin again, for until now we have done nothing.” St. Francis said these words after decades of service to God’s people with his Brothers. He knew that conversion was not just a moment, but a daily act, a journey of a lifetime. So we always begin anew. | | |
Glamour Through the Generations
Glitz, glam, and generations coming together.
Our Glamour Through the Generations event brought young girls and older ladies together for makeup, manicures, photos, snacks, and sweet visits. While everyone came for the sparkle, what they left with was something even more special, connection, laughter, and quality time across generations.

Putting Our Knowledge to the Test
Brains were buzzing in the Glab Lounge during the Trivia Party! Residents and administrative staff teamed up for some friendly competition, made possible by Scoop Drushke, who generously put together engaging trivia for the event. What a great time together!

Hooked on Yarn!
Court residents recently started a crochet and knitting club. These calming, repetitive activities help improve fine motor skills, hand strength, and coordination while also promoting relaxation and reducing stress.
Simple stitches can create something beautiful, and along the way, they help nurture purpose, confidence, and joy.

Pairings Perfected: Wine & Cheese
It was a delicious afternoon at The Gardens as we welcomed Mary Lindeman from Pine River Cheese for a special visit. Mary shared the rich history of their company, walked us through their award-winning cheese-making process, and gave guests a behind-the-scenes look at what makes their products so special.
Attendees enjoyed sampling a variety of flavorful cheeses while learning about the craftsmanship behind each one. The afternoon was filled with great conversation, tasty bites, and even a special take-home gift for everyone. A truly delightful experience for all!

Holy Hour of Prayer
On Friday, February 30, Felician Village gathered for a Holy Hour of Prayer for Peace at the request of Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
| | | Route 66 Walking Challenge Accomplished | | |
One step at a time, The Gardens residents made it from Chicago to Santa Monica!
Here’s what they achieved:
- 5,235,821 total steps
- Journey began January 5
- Goal reached February 12 — more than 300,000 steps over!
- 38 days… WOW!
- 54 residents participated
- Daily average of 2,551 steps (some walking 500 a day & others up to 11,000!)
Along the way, they reminisced about road trips on Route 66, tracked our progress on the map in the Madonna Lounge, and kept moving indoors, around the garage, and in exercise classes during those subzero temperatures!
One resident commented, "I realized I don't walk as much as I thought I did; the pedometer proved that."
What an incredible investment in heart and brain health.
