Former staff of Holy Family Hospital gather to celebrate its legacy
The Holy Family Hospital was closed down in 1997 and demolished in 2008, but the memories created in that building are still alive and well.
Thursday afternoon, nearly 100 former staff members from the hospital met for a luncheon to share memories and enjoy the musical stylings of local singer-songerwriter Donny Parenteau.
In attendance and blessing the meal was former executive director of the hospital Romeo Paulhus. He said its great to see the spirit of pride still alive and well in the former staff of the hospital for the work they did there.
“What I’m experiencing today, after 32 years since I left here, is that that spirit of Holy Family is very much alive and well and it resides with the people who worked there, and it’s still here today and it’s so great to be able to visit with these people and to reminisce and to remember their major contribution that they made to this community in the care of people who needed hospital care, and so it’s great.”
