Sister Francis Marie Vallone, Religious Services Volunteer
"It has been three years since I first started visiting the residents of Brompton Heights. The residents who attend our gathering for prayer have been very receptive and seem to enjoy praying together every Tuesday morning. We pray the rosary and also have a Holy Communion Service. The staff members have been kind and cooperative. Visiting and volunteering my services at Brompton Heights has been a rewarding experience for me. I also believe the residents who attend our celebration of prayer have enjoyed it as well."

"The people on the Brompton Heights staff are accommodating. I like the way they follow up on the jobs that they assign me and I enjoy the freedom they give me. Also I am thankful for the free meal they give me while I am volunteering. I also attend the Rosary on Tuesdays with Sister Fran." |
