On Tuesday, January 13, Knights, Dames, Auxiliary and Volunteers led the New Year’s Edition of our Monthly Service Work: Late Knight Karaoke at the Mary Manning Walsh Nursing Home (MMW).  Many residents of MMW frequently long for the company and friendship that members of our Order bring. And for those residents who do receive visitors, it is a wonderful way for families to spend time together in a social setting outside of their specific patient room.

Additionally, this program serves as a great entry point of service for young volunteers who may be tentative about their first time serving a medical facility. This month saw many residents singing their big-band and swing favorites along with Knights, Dames, Volunteers, Staff and the Carmelite Sisters. 

After dozens of Sinatra favorites, the team headed upstairs to serenade patients who couldn’t leave their rooms. We’ll see you all next month, and every second Tuesday of each month bringing joy to those at Mary Manning Walsh Nursing Home.
