Recreation, Spiritual, and Volunteer Services staff at the R.K. MacDonald Nursing Home in coordination with local clergy and dedicated volunteers serve the spiritual & religious needs of the Residents, their families, and staff, with respect for their faith traditions and the dignity of their persons.
In 2013, our chapel was named St. Martha Chapel in a ceremony presided over by Bishop Brian Dunn in the presence of Residents, family members, staff and volunteers, and with the participation of the Sisters of St. Martha. In honor of that occasion, the Sisters donated the statue of St. Martha which adorns our chapel.
