The latest CSS Imperial/McCook News
By Sr. Melissa Moxley
Marian Sisters of the Diocese of Lincoln
Advocate, St. Gianna Women’s Home
It has been a joy for us to be welcomed to the Catholic Social Services family as we begin our work for Jesus at St. Gianna Women’s Home. We have deep gratitude in our hearts for Sisters Bernadette, Karen, and Carol for paving the way for us here. We are grateful to Sister Bernadette and Sister Karen for helping the program to get started and for their many years of service to make this all possible. They truly are trail blazers! As we join Sister Carol in this mission, she has proved invaluable in leading us forward in this new apostolate and teaching us the ropes.
Welcome to our NEW(ish) Newsletter! We've expanded Hope in the Good Life to six pages of uplifting updates based on your valued feedback. Enjoy our first issue, and thanks for supporting HOPE IN THE GOOD LIFE!
In this episode, we sit down with the new leadership team at CSS Hastings—Jonathan, CSS Hastings Regional Director; his wife, Teresa, CSS Hastings St. Joseph Gift & Thrift Store Manager; and Miranda, our CSS Hastings Development Officer. Together, they share their passion for serving the community, the exciting transition into a new building that will expand CSS’s outreach, and what’s ahead for the annual Bountiful Harvest Celebration dinner this October. It’s a conversation full of hope, fresh beginnings, and a look at how CSS continues to bring Hope in the Good Life to southcentral Nebraska.

Vice President, Marketing & Development
Catholic Social Services of Southern Nebraska
One of the many things I love about working at Catholic Social Services is the opportunity to put a “Catholic take” on our fundraising and marketing efforts. For example, for years we have included an image of St. Anthony of Padua holding the child Jesus and the letters “S.A.G.” on the mailing panel of our newsletters. This practice dates back centuries, when Catholics would write “S.A.G.”—short for St. Anthony Guide—on the back of letters sent to loved ones, imploring the aid of St. Anthony to ensure they receive the correspondence. (Heads up: you can read more about the origins of this devotion in our newly redesigned newsletter “Hope in the Good Life” coming soon to a mailbox or inbox near you!)
