Take a leap of faith: “For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith'” (Romans 1:17).

Casa Maria got a “jump start” on observing leap year day on its vigil by featuring candy leap frogs and a traditional leap year cake. Leap Year occurs once every four years to keep the calendar year in sync with the seasonal year.

God is love, indeed (1 John 4:8)!

Casa Maria hosted a Valentine-themed dinner to celebrate love and friendship. Following a prayer session, a hearty menu of barbecue ribs, sausage, potato salad and beans was enjoyed by nearly 30 StMU students, staff, faculty, friends and Marianists. A red velvet birthday cake with cream cheese frosting with candied lettering and other sweet treats were also served. Happy Valentine’s Day!
