Ruth Willemain
Ruth is a retired teacher who taught school in NY, Michigan, and West Springfield.
From her home parish of Holy Cross in Holyoke, MA, Ruth is dedicated to ministering to the elderly serving as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist and faithful friend and companion to many at Mont Marie, Holyoke Soliders Home and Holyoke Geriatric. She also serves as an adult altar server.
Ruth is the vision behind "Harmony House", a project to build a ten bed facilty to care for the terminally ill who are without family or resources. The project is currently in the planning stages and Ruth hopes to find approximately four acres of land on which to build this much needed facility.
If you would like to assist Ruth on this project of love contact her at www.harmonyhousewma.org
"My vision is to see that all God's people leave this life with dignity and love no matter what their resources and no matter whether they have family or not. We all deserve to have a loving environment in our time of need. Harmony Houses' biggest challenge right now is the procurement of land. We need about four acres of land preferably in a quiet setting. Once we have the land we have volunteer builders in place to assist us with the project. "
