Team Spiritual Care: The Word

Word Became Flesh

Two thousand years ago the invisible love that is God became visible by vesting himself with the flesh of a virgin and dying on a cross for the incredible reason that he loves each and every one of us. — from John Paul II and the New Evangelization

Team Assisted Care:Alter High School Students Join Exercise Class!

Volunteer freshmen students from Alter High School spent time at St. Leonard as a service project. One of the things they did was spend time with the Assisted Care residents during morning exercise and memorysize, which was spelling. The students, as well as the residents, enjoyed themselves tremendously. The residents were thrilled to have these young people come visit, interact and do an activity with them. They want them to come back. http://www.stleonard.net/

Navigating the Cereal Aisle

There is perhaps no greater variety at your supermarket than in the cereal aisle. Which to choose?

Keep these tips in mind as you gaze down the endless cereal shelves:

• Read the Nutrition Facts labels to compare nutrient content of products and pick those made with whole grains.


• Some cereals are fortified with vitamins and minerals. Check the nutrients in fortified cereals. Most cereals supply approximately 25% of the Daily Value for vitamins and minerals, and some have much more.


• Cereals that are good fiber sources supply at least 2.5 grams of fiber per serving; whole-grain cereals typically contain even more.


• Don’t assume cereals labeled “natural” or “granola” are necessarily more nutritious. Some of these products can be high in fat, sugars and sodium.


• Adding low-fat milk or yogurt makes cereal a great source of calcium and other nutrients; that’s why labels give information for both cereal only and with added milk.

For more information on navigating the shelves at your local grocery store, visit the Savvy Food Shopping section.
