The latest CSS Imperial News
In June, my family traveled to Stromsburg to attend the Swedish Midsommer Festival, a tradition that started the first summer Ryan and I met. While Ryan and I both have Swedish roots, Stromsburg is where my husband grew up and spent his middle school and high school years so it’s a particularly meaningful trip back home for him. We look forward to this festival each summer: a celebration of heritage, yes, but it’s also Ryan’s chance to share his past with our daughters.
Several local businesses have come together to present a used vehicle, along with the money they raised, to a family who recently endured the heartbreaking loss of their unborn child following an auto accident that also totaled their car. CSS teamed up with a group called BNI to provide this hope on wheels. In this episode, Kendall Warnock of A1 Automotive and Todd Speidell of Eustis Body Shop shares how fulfilling it is to bring this Hope in the Good Life.
RUNBORN has raised over $101,000 for St. Gianna Women's Homes and the Women's Care Center of Lincoln over four years and it's time for the 2024 challenge.

Father’s Day is a time to celebrate the invaluable presence of fathers in our lives, to cherish the memories we’ve shared, and to reflect on the profound impact they have on shaping who we are. As a Catholic community, we hold a special reverence for the role of fathers, recognizing them as pillars of strength, wisdom, and love within our families.
