McCURDY NAMED TO MERCER COUNTY’S 40 UNDER 40 LIST
Monthly Newsletter for Residents,
Families, Volunteers, Staff and Friends
www.stpauls1867.org
On Wednesday, May 19, in a collaborative celebration, Mercer County’s four chambers
of commerce – Greenville Area Chamber, Grove City Area Chamber, Mercer Area Chamber
and Shenango Valley Chamber – recognized the 2020 Mercer County 40 Under Forty
Honorees at an outdoor event in Buhl Park in Hermitage, Pa. And our very own Leann
McCurdy, Director of Nursing, was one of them! Congratulations, Leann! “I was very
humbled and honored to be nominated,” Leann said.
Leann’s 12 year (and counting) career at St. Paul’s began in 2009 when she was hired
as the RN Manager on the Willows neighborhood at The Villas. In 2011 she was promoted
to Assistant Director of Nursing and in 2017 was named Quality Assurance Coordinator.
Leann was named Director of Nursing in May 2019.
Leann was asked to detail her greatest professional accomplishment for the printed
program that was given to all who attended the event. Here is her answer: “My nursing
career began in Intensive Care. Caring for those who are critically ill was obviously
stressful at times but also very rewarding. I obtained a solid foundation of skills as well
as a deepened compassion for those I cared for. However, nothing I learned throughout my career prepared me for
the last year of it. Getting through the pandemic has definitely been my
greatest accomplishment thus far. Working through my own fears, my
family’s fears, and my work family’s fears is something I am proud of.
The physical and emotional challenges as well as keeping up with ever
changing guidance and recommendations has been challenging at best.
Myself and my team have accomplished more in this past year than we
ever imagined we were capable of accomplishing.”
“Leann is very smart, capable and talented,” said Tammy Lininger,
Administrator at The Villas. “[Director of Nursing] is a big job that is not
for the faint of heart. She has a calm and steady nature that helps her
manage the multiple competing priorities and demands and St. Paul’s is
blessed to have her!
When Leann was asked about her hobbies, the short answer was
“I don’t have a whole lot of time for hobbies.” (See photo at right!) “But
I absolutely love watching my kids in their sports and other activities.”
We’re beyond thankful that Leann shares her time with us, too!
Each year 40 honorees are nominated for their amazing Leann and her husband Jason pose with their
accomplishments, their dedication and willingness to serve our beautiful (and large!) family. Children are: Rebekah,
community. St. Paul’s has been fortunate to have a representative age 21 (not pictured); Brianna, age 20; Jasmine,
named to this list each year for many years running. We’re very proud age 19; John, age 16; Audrey, age 15; Ciarra, age
of our team! 13, Charlie, age 9; Addyson, age 4 and Everlee,
age 16 months.
We will continue to post updates on our website: www.stpauls1867.org/contact/covid-19-updates
To be added to a text message distribution list that notifies you when updates are posted to our site, please
email your name, cell phone number and your resident’s name to: rclemente@sp1867.org.

A Message from Pastor Julia
This month I want to lift up a few Scriptural fathers—three J’s—whose faith, leadership, and good care is well worth
noting.
First, Joseph of Nazareth, the earthly father of Jesus. He was a carpenter, an obedient citizen, and a good and
decent man. Before and after Jesus’ birth, Joseph is divinely advised what to do through a series of dreams, and he
takes such counsel seriously. He ultimately marries Mary, accepts Jesus as his son, and raises him up in the Jewish
faith tradition. Evidence suggests that Joseph was a man of faith and character, a committed father, and one who
sought to fulfill God’s purposes for the good of all involved.
Next comes Jairus, the synagogue leader. He was a man of faith and a father in great distress on account of his
young daughter’s serious illness. Having heard of Jesus’ power to heal, Jairus seeks him out and throws himself at
Jesus’ feet, begging him for help. He maintains faith through Jesus’ delayed arrival and when others assumed hers
was a lost cause. In Jairus, we see a father from times past who cared for daughters as much as sons; a father who
provided stability and also reached out for help when needed; and a religious traditionalist who opens his heart to new
ways.
Finally, there’s Jacob, the father of the twelve tribes of Israel--perhaps a surprising choice because he was known
to be such a rascal. He was the twin who tricked his brother out of his birthright; the one who wrestled with God rather
than submit to his will; and the father who showed favoritism with truly awful results. However, fathers—even great
ones—aren’t perfect people. They make mistakes and sometimes have to work hard to become leaders in the eyes of
their families once again. Jacob is noteworthy because of the relationship that continued between him and God even
in failure. In Jacob, we see an imperfect father to whom God is a father; a father who is also a child, growing in grace
across a lifetime.

Karen Jackson Monica WestGiving Week
June 19-25, 2021
St. Paul’s will be participating in the second annual PA OH Gives, Giving Week through the
Community Foundation of Western PA and Eastern OH, June 19-25, 2021. All proceeds during this
week will benefit benevolent care at St. Paul’s through the Good Samaritan Fund.
Last year, St. Paul’s provided more than $5 million dollars in unfunded and benevolent care and
we expect that number to increase this year. Benevolent care ensures that a resident never has to
leave because of financial reasons. As there are times when a resident may reach a point where
they have expended their assets and need assistance paying for their care.
Because of COVID-19, we have decided to postpone our biennial Caring Hearts on Fire Gala for
another year, which benefits benevolent care at St. Paul’s. All proceeds to Giving Week will help
make up some of the loss from that event.
An exciting part about Giving Week is that any donation that is made during this time will be
matched by the Community Foundation on a prorated basis! The Community Foundation is not
charging any fees, therefore, St. Paul’s will receive 100% of all donations with a breakdown of who
made each contribution.
There are two easy ways to give:
1. Credit Card - Simply go online to donate through the Community Foundation, June 19-25, 2021
at www.paohgives.org. Click Programs and choose St. Paul’s.
2. Check - must be made payable to the Community Foundation of W PA & E OH with “St. Paul’s”
in the memo line. You can either mail to the Community Foundation of Western PA & Eastern OH at
7 West State Street, Suite 301, Sharon, PA 16146 or drop off at St. Paul’s to The Charitable Giving
Office in The Keifer Building. (If dropping checks off at St. Paul’s, please make sure to do so by
3:00 p.m. on Friday, June 25th.)The Pros and Cons of Charitable Trusts
A charitable trust is a way to use your assets to benefit you, your heirs and your
favorite charity at the same time. It can be set up during your lifetime or after, as part
of your will. A charitable trust can be started with an outright gift of cash, real estate
or appreciated securities.
