President’s Message

Dear Sisters,

Spring is here! Flowers are blooming, trees are budding, and members are renewing their spirit in Jesus Christ during this Lenten and Easter Season.

I would like to thank Jennifer Martinez and her committee for the wonderful lunch and the opportunity for enriching our knowledge at our Lenten Retreat.

Thank you to all who participated in the Quarterly Communion on the Third Saturday in Lent. Thanks to everyone who served in some capacity during the Mass.

Thank you to Emmy Yandall for taking over the meeting for me with little notice. I regret that I missed the Birthday Dinner. I understand that the food was delicious and a fun time was had by all. Congratulations to those members with over twenty five years in St. Isidore #235. Let's give Nita Singh Dhalliwal a cheer for her time and effort in organizing the Annual Birthday Dinner.

This year our chairperson for "Mary's Way of the Cross", Bev Vignery, suggested that we have this on Friday evening during the scheduled Stations of Cross since there was a Parish Penance service on Thursday evening. It was wonderful! Many of our members participated along with members of the parish. Bev made copies for the parishioners to read along. Mary Basterrechea helped Bev in leading the Stations. After they finished, many asked if we would do it again next year.

Thank you to Jan Casey and the bereavement committee for stepping in and helping our sister and Institute Deputy, Pat Carvo, during her time of sorrow and need.

Wow! How wonderful it is to belong to this wonderful group of Catholic women. Thank you for the prayers for my husband (O.J.) and daughter (Kim) during March. O.J. came through his first hospital visit with flying colors.. Kim and her newborn son Kyle are doing fine. Witnessing the birth of a baby really brings meaning to the miracle of life.

May the Easter Season bring each one new life in your Catholic Faith. May the Risen Lord bring you peace and love.

One Flaw in Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.

They bear hardships and they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their family and friends.

Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH

Marysville Deanery"Spring Fling"was a success on March 24th. Luci Fisher was recognized as St. Isidore YLI #235 "Women of the Year". Joining Luci were her daughters, Victoria, Angelic and Franseca. Bishop Weigand was present for a prayer service and the Luncheon. Special "thanks" to Pat Giertych for taking on this special event. Her committee, Grace DeLise and Diane Gellerson, did a fantastic job of setting two beautiful tables for our ladies. Pat though of everything - lemon for our iced tea, salt and pepper, silverware, goblets for water, china plates and cups along with nice spring centerpieces for both tables. Lucille Berg won a raffle prize and picked the donation from our institute. She was happy with her bounty from "Bath and Body". Mary Perry made two cakes for the dessert table. Thank you very much to our members Sandee Paez, Mary Perry, Ilene Schmitz, Nita Singh Dhalliwal, Grace DeLise Pat Giertych, Diane Gellerson, Carol Horning and Lucille Berg for attending. Luci's friend Ruby joined her for the afternoon. Kudos to Nita for rinsing all of the dishes. St. Isidore YLI #235 comes through again. Many thanks ladies!
