Our schedule is centered by necessity around the needs of our patients and our prayer and community life. Prayer, including daily adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, is an essential element of each sister's day.

After Mass we serve our patients breakfast. Then we attend to morning care - assisting our patients with all the needs of daily living. After that, those of our patients who can, go off to planned activities.

At midday the patients return to their floor and we serve them midday dinner.

After the patients are served, we go to the Refectory for our dinner. We then return to our floors for "afternoon watch". This is a relatively quite part of the day, allowing some of us to rest while others use the time for private prayer.

At 4:00 p.m. we meet again for evening prayer. We then return to the floors to serve our patients supper and get them comfortable for bed. And, just as one would do for a family member, we tuck them in and say good night.
