Ohio’s “Stay at Home” order meant that for the first time ever those of us who live at The Glen, Glenmary's residence in Cincinnati, were not allowed to go out to the missions to help nor visit families over Easter weekend. First time ever that that has happened.
This was our biggest Easter Dinner at the residence that anyone could remember.
