Things are growing at St. Coletta’s! 🌱☀️

Participants have been busy planting a variety of vegetable seeds in an old, underutilized greenhouse and nearby garden bed that Clinical Therapist David Saavedra cleaned up alongside Mental Health Professionals Agnes Heldak, Cailey Whittinghill, Indya Hudley and Richanne Matthews.

Together, they’re helping participants in our Behavioral Health Clinic and Community Day Services programs discover the rewards of gardening through a new hands-on group focused on wellness, mindfulness and independent living skills. From watering and planting to learning patience and teamwork, this group is already blooming into something special. 🍉🥕🌿

Now let’s just hope this steamy weather cooperates with all their hard work! 😅

The Mindful Therapy Classroom enjoyed a wonderful trip to Lake Katherine Nature Center last week, spending time outdoors and taking in the beauty of nature all around them. From peaceful walking paths to scenic views, the group embraced the chance to slow down, explore and connect with the world around them.

One of the highlights of the day? Taking turns climbing into the giant chair for some fun photo opportunities and lots of laughs! Experiences like these help encourage mindfulness, social connection and appreciation for the simple joys found in nature. 🍃🪑💚

🌟 Meet this week’s : Chevas! 🌟

Chevas is a dedicated participant in our Supported Employment Program, showing commitment and a strong work ethic every day. He’s learning new skills and taking steps toward building independence.

With a little more confidence, there’s no limit to what Chevas can achieve — and we can’t wait to see him continue to grow and shine! 💙✨

Today, Tisha took participants in our Mindful Therapy Classroom on a nature scavenger hunt! 🌿🔎

The group explored the outdoors while learning to recognize and appreciate the many different things they see in nature — from plants and flowers to birds, insects and other signs of the season. The activity encouraged mindfulness, observation skills and a deeper connection with the world around them.

It was a beautiful day for fresh air, discovery and learning together! ☀️🍃

We had a special little visitor flutter into our lobby today! 🐦💙

A tiny bird stopped by to say hello and spent some time hanging out with us. We’re pretty sure it must have heard about our St. Francis connections and wanted to feel right at home. 😊

Our day got a little brighter thanks to this feathered friend!

This photo takes us back to 1974, as parents and parishioners exit the Infant of Prague Chapel on St. Coletta’s original campus in Palos Park. The occasion was a special Mass celebrating St. Coletta’s 25th anniversary—an important milestone in a journey of faith, service, and community.

While the Infant of Prague Chapel no longer stands today, the spirit it represented lives on in our mission and in the countless lives touched over the years. We’re grateful for all who have been part of our story, then and now. 💫
