This simple gesture is a common thread that crosses the boundaries of all religions and faiths. While at Our Lady of the Prairie Retreat, please help us navigate Covid-19 by implementing God's Golden Rule. We suggest you go to https://www.cdc.gov/ to check on the latest CDC guidelines which we encourage you to follow.
