Dear Friends In Christ:

After 11 years, we have almost completed our project at St.Francis Lodge. This winter we have worked deligently on completing the “Jack Weinmann Family Memorial Guest Quarters” at St.Francis Lodge.

With the completion of the “walk-out quarters” (basement level) this month, we will have three bedrooms, three baths, a full kitchen and a kitchenette in our little lodge that will be officially opened at our dedication on May 29th. We hope to see you all there for this wonderful occassion as Father Duane Pribula from Our Lady Of The Pines church in Nevus, Minnesota, will celebrate a “Holy Mass” to bless us and this place for God. We will also comemerate all of those who have been a part of this mission along this 11 year journey. There will be a reception for all of those who attend immediately following Mass. Please mark your calendars. We are so grateful to all of you who have been a part of this mission over the past 11 years.

The weekend of March 19-21, a group of volunteers will go up to work on completing the “bunk-house” above the garage that will be extra quarters for visitors to stay with us as well. If you would like to help us with this phase of the project, or would like to help us this spring on getting the landscaping done to get the grounds in order for the dedication, please contact us.

If you go to www.saldileo.com and click on St. Francis Lodge, you can see the photos of the building of the “Margaret Manley Memorial Chapel” and the building of the “Jack Weinmann Family Memorial Guest Quarters”.

You are in our prayers. Please keep us in yours.

God Bless You All.

Sal, Beth, Jane, Sarah K. Di leo
