- Carmelite Philosophy of Care

"I know how much I truly loved my job when in December I was offered another job at nearly twice my hourly pay! To me love and laughter are the best medicine. At St. Pat's I not only get to give that to our residents, staff, my co-workers and the sisters I receive it back. I have a lot of fun working here. The most important part of my life is loving God and being loved by God. Being at St. Pat's has given me total freedom to express and share that love. The other day I told a resident I loved her, her response was "I'm so glad you told me that, I didn't think anyone did" I feel privileged to be a part of God's plan to let those at St. Pat's know how much they are valued and loved by God and all of us here. My philosophy in life is to love God first and to treat others the way I want to be treated with love, respect and dignity. Today I serve, in time I may be the one who needs to hear these words expressed with a hug "God loves you and so do I". The most joyful rewarding hours of my day are those spent in the residents' main dining room at St. Pat's!"

- Sincerely, Sharleen Peters, Dietary Assistant.
