Pianos and Dina
Dina Bato’s face graces the cover of the summer 2009 issue of HOPE. Dina Bato has quite a handshake. One wouldn’t expect it from the friendly, quick to smile 32-year-old, but with one shake of that right hand, there is no doubt that this woman does not need help opening jars.

...neatness, cleanliness, and economy. We doubt if there is a hospital in the country conducted more to the comfort of its inmates than this; or one where the invalids receive better attention from the stewards, nurses, etc.; and we are sure none surpass it in the medical and surgical knowledge and skill brought to bear in all cases. Besides, although the invalids have the best of everything to eat, we understand the daily expense to the Government per day, for...

...of our woods. Sister Rose Loretto [Wagner, RIP], Sister Catherine Alberta’s friend and mentor, had once said, ‘It is easier to find the Lord when you are surrounded with beauty. We are nurtured by beauty. Our souls are nurtured by our eyes.’ We saw these words incarnate in Sister Catherine Alberta who saw beauty everywhere and in every one.

No doubt about it...

...held to high standards of performance and maturity. There is no doubt that PSM is a place of discipline and structure, but it’s equally clear that it’s a place of positive energy and the infectious faith that success is attainable for anyone willing to work for it. As I entered into the PSM atmosphere again, I found myself just as proud of the things that had not changed as I was proud of the improvements over the years. I’d be...
