          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 twice per month for one hour each time. For more information and the ZOOM link for each meeting, contact carmenlewis@franciscan.org or call 253-426-4381.
