Insight from the Maryville President

I N S I G H T F R O M T H E M A RY V I L L E PRESIDENT

There are heroes among us. You don’t have to look very far to see that Maryville is blessed abundantly with many types of heroes.

As our yard signs say, “HEROES WORK AT MARYVILLE”. Twenty-four hours a day, our front-line heroes focus on offering service with love to those who call Maryville home.

Residents and their families, creatively and resiliently maintain connections with window visits and Face Time calls. They are all heroes in our eyes!

Heroic donors have blessed us beyond measure. Thank you for rising to the needs of the day, providing resources to help keep us healthy and safe.

We are thankful to every hero who has graced our lives and upheld the mission of the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon. As we move forward expecting great things, we pray that your life will be filled with heroes.

“No task too difficult, no sacrifice too great.” -Mother Seraphim Theisen, SSMO

I wrote these words on a small white board in my office because they ring true of the staff at Maryville who are working around the clock to provide service with love. We are keeping every resident engaged with unique experiences, including musicians who serenade us from outside their windows. Seeing residents’ faces radiate joy, and hearing their voices as they sing along to the music brings delight to everyone at Maryville.
