In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, associates at Ascension St. John Jane Phillips have been sharing overhead morning prayers in Spanish. ❤️

Rosa Soto, Radiology Tech Lead, recently volunteered to lead the prayer, sharing these words:

“Servir con audacia, amar con audacia, y cuidar a los demás con audacia.”

“Serve boldly, love boldly and to care boldly for others.”

Ascension St. Vincent Kokomo associates celebrated Mission Month by giving back to the Kokomo Humane Society.

Associates donated needed items to cast votes for their favorite silly pet photos — turning a little friendly competition into meaningful support for animals in the community. Pastoral Care added a special touch by blessing the donated items and participating pets, then welcoming pet parents for drive-up blessings, cuddles and pup cups.

A joyful reminder of the many ways we can serve and care for our community. 💙
