I had the recent pleasure of meeting with Sis- — Eric Urbas ter Mary Imelda to talk about The Little Sisters of The Poor and their service to elderly in our community. St. Paul’s Home (476 Riddle Road) is home to about 100 elderly residents 65 and over with health needs and of little means. The Little Sis- ters live with the residents at St. Paul’s, dedicating their lives to their care. In doing so they provide dignity and ultimately “lead them to their eternity in a peaceful way”. Each day some of the Sisters go out and collect food, supplies and personal care NON-PROFIT CINCINNATI, OH CINCINNATI, Permit No. 301 products for the residents in the U.S. Postage facility.
