Goodbye from Mary Pat MisMaryPat

Dear Families and Sibs,

As all of you know first-hand, Misericordia is an amazing home and community. I have had the privilege of being a part of the Misericordia family for many years. I know your "kids" or "sibs" and I know a lot of families. It has been a journey with a lot of “highs” and a few “lows” and always interesting. Your family members here are so special to me and to all the staff. Getting to know you, the families has enriched my life a hundredfold. The very best part of my role was being in Social Service. It is how I connected with families, heard the stories and hopefully offered some support.

I was always a little worried when Sister Rosemary met new families. When talking with families she saw their need and knew resources were scarce. I knew then another home would be built! Her vision prompted the growth both on and off campus and kept us all busy. Quality in all aspects of the resident’s life was of utmost importance. We were able to do this because our philosophy of sharing in the care of our residents with the families and they embraced this philosophy and have always been there for us. Our staff over the years have been amazing. They are dedicated to the residents and want what is best for them always.

It is now the time in my life to step down and let others take on the helm. The growth of Misericordia is paramount for our future. It has been a great ride and I am going to miss it so very much; especially the residents and families. It has been a blessing to be a part of this special and awe-inspiring organization. I want to thank you for the trust you have placed in me all these years. I also trust in God that the current leadership will carry on the Mission and ensure that we are always striving for the quality of life our residents so richly deserve and our families expect.

I will be retiring at the end of this year but I won’t be a stranger – you can’t walk away from family!

I will keep you in my prayers always.

So very grateful for all of you.

Mary Pat O'Brien
