"Don't cry because it is over--Smile because it happened."

"Let us remember, we are in the holy presence of God."

"We are a family of five...each with their own differences, fighting for the attention of a parent, and sometimes we know each other too well."

 
Thanks for the wonderful memories and enjoy your new adventure at ISU!

 

 

 

Stewardship Recipe

"You shall open your hands wide to your brother, and to your needy in the land" (Dt 15:11). In addition to faith, add brotherly kindness, love, self-control, knowledge and goodness to create a recipe for stewardship.

 

Make Sunday the Lord’s Day

“Our spiritual life,” said the Holy Father, “essentially depends on the Eucharist. Without it, faith and hope are extinguished, charity becomes cold. Thus, dear friends, I exhort you to attend ever more to the quality of Eucharistic celebrations, especially on Sundays, so that Sunday will truly be the Lord’s Day and will confer fullness of meaning on everyday events and activities.

Hawk-i Insurance for Kids - Thursday, February 04, 2010

If you or someone you know has children with no health and dental coverage, encourage them to consider enrolling in hawk-i or Medicaid.  There two programs are offered by the State of Iowa.

There are as many as 27,000 children in Iowa without health and dental coverage.  There are many families who are eligible for these programs but they are either unaware of the programs or assume they earn too much money to qualify.  However, a family of three earning  $54,000 or more may be eligible.  Many families are cutting back expenses in these challenging economic times.  Health and dental coverage for children is too important.  No family will pay more than $40 per month for coverage in hawk-i. 

Signing your children up for health and dental coverage in Iowa for as low as $20 to $40 per month and some families pay nothing at all!  Our goal is to help the children get the health and dental coverage they need. For complete eligibility requirements, application, and answers to your questions, visit www.hawk-i.org or call 1-800-257-8563.
