                  We had been meeting in person until this past March, when in person meetings had to cease due to the pandemic. However, we still believe there is a need for support within this community, so we have moved to online Zoom meetings. We are now meeting the 3rd Thursday of each month. For more information and the ZOOM link for each meeting, call 253-426-4381 or contact carmenlewis@chifranciscan.org.
