Marian Manor Healthcare Foundation
In the summer of 2003, the Sisters of the Holy Spirit gifted the Manor with the financial means to begin the Marian Manor Healthcare Foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to advance, supplement and support the mission of Marian Manor which is to continue the healing ministry of Jesus by serving the elderly of Western Pennsylvania through a continuum of care.
The foundation is in its infancy but it should be a source of future security for the Manor. If you are interested in supporting this foundation please contact Sr. Eileen Chlebowski, MHA, Development Director at 412-440-4305.

The Nicklas Prayer Room
On Sunday July 18, 2004 the Nicklas Prayer Room was formally dedicated and blessed by Rev. Harry Nichols from St. Margaret Church. Since this time the Pastoral Care Staff has found the room an ideal place for memorial services, prayer servives and quiet time for private and group prayer.
Once a month the Blessed Sacrament is exposed from 10:00AM until 2:00PM. This has become a paraliturgical service that our residents find very peaceful and reminiscent of the former 40 Hours Devotion. It is very well attended.
The NIcklas family would be very pleased to know that the prayer room they created at the former St John's Hospital continues to bring peace and calming to so many.

8th Annual Charity Golf Classic
Marian Manor's Eighth Annual Charity Golf Classic will be held on Monday, September 29, 2008 at the Montour Heights Country Club.

Golf will start one hour later at 11:00 AM, followed by our Silent/Chinese Auctions and dinner at 5:15 PM. We are hoping the new format makes for a special day.
There are a number of sponsorship opportunities available for companies and groups. These sponsorships include golfing packages, all fees and food, a tee sign and an ad in the program book. Individual golfer packages are $200 and include green fees, cart rental, bag handling, locker room, morning coffee, on-course boxed lunch, snacks, dinner and skill and team prizes.

Marian Manor and Vincentian Collaborative Services Join Together
Within the context of our service to our residents and vision of our founders, Marian Manor is pleased to announce that the Sisters of the Holy Spirit and the Vincentian Sisters of Charity have brought their organizations together within one healthcare system which is the Vincentian Collaborative System (VCS), a multi-institutional long term care provider operated by the Sisters of Charity.
After extensive study, discussion and prayer, the Sisters of the Holy Spirit, along with the Marian Manor board, made the choice to become part of the Vincentian Collaborative System because they share our Catholic tradition, our mission, our values and our commitment to long term care and service to the community.
Marian Manor and VCS finalized the formal agreements that were presented to the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the State Attorney General's Office. Government approval was official on February 1, 2008 and now the two organizations have begun the tasks of integration.
We are quite enthusiastic about this opportunity to continue and to strengthen the mission of Marian Manor. If you have any questions or need any clarification regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact us.
