Holy Family is indeed a family. We care for each other and reach out to the members of our family and all others we can help. Part of our approach has been developing an emergency preparedness guide for natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires and other disasters.
We had a lecture yesterday on the remarkable Hildegarde of Bingen. Dr. Nancy Fierro presented Hildegarde of Bingen as dazzling, creative, gutsy, and compassionate. And she was! Hildegarde was an amazing ray of light in medieval times. She composed songs and music, wrote books and poetry, she painted, lectured, advised and helped people throughout her whole life.
