Life at Royal Atrium Inn
A Message from Jeff
If you love living at Royal Park Place or Royal Atrium Inn, I want to encourage you to leave us a 5-Star review on Google or Facebook. This is your way of letting the world know that you’re happy you made the decision to join our community. I can tell them they’d love it and wish they would have come sooner, but they’d rather hear it from you😊! If you’re not sure how to leave an online review, Life Enrichment Director Carrie Fahey would be happy to help you! All you need to do is let her know that you’d like to leave a review, and she’d be thrilled to schedule a time to help you. The whole process will probably take less than ten minutes, unless you can’t stop saying nice things, and you will have given a prospective resident and his/her family the confidence to take a closer look. Thanks for being the best Salesperson ever!
If you’re happy and you know it… Leave a 5-Star Review! As many of you know, people shop differently today than they did in the past. You can go to a store and look through the ten pairs of shoes that they have in stock, or you can go online and shop thousands of shoes. But how do you know what you’re getting if you can’t see them or try them on? You rely on people’s reviews and testimonies who have already purchased those shoes. The same is true of hotels, restaurants, and even retirement and assisted living communities .

3.14 is Pi Day! Time to celebrate with a little math and a lot of pie!
Bus Outing: Vee’s Wednesday, March 11 11:00 a.m. Bus Departure
Pi Day was founded by physicist Larry Shaw in 1988; a non-binding resolution acknowledging it was passed by the United States House of Representatives in 2009. Pi day started as an event at the San Francisco Exploratorium, where Shaw worked as a physicist. On that first day, both staff and public marched around one of its circular spaces, and then ate fruit pie. The Exploratorium continues to hold Pi Day celebrations, and the tradition expanded across countries that use the month-day format*—because who doesn’t want an excuse to eat pie? (If you don’t like sweet pie, have a pizza pie.) Whether you enjoy a classic apple pie, a savory slice, or simply the joy of gathering with others, Pi Day is a wonderful reminder that learning can be deliciously fun. We look forward to celebrating together — and, of course, enjoying a little pie along the way!

ROYAL PARK PLACE Life Style
Chaplain’s Corner God Meant It For Good
Patrick returned to Ireland and started his first church in 432 in a barn. He ministered to the people and, at times, longed to return to his native home. The Holy Spirit laid on his heart that he was in the right place and needed to remain in Ireland, for there was much work to be done. Patrick and his followers followed the example of Jesus’ disciples. They went from place to place, preaching the gospel, baptizing believers, forming churches, and training leaders. Patrick wrote that he baptized many thousands of believers and ordained hundreds of priests. As I reread this story, I was reminded of how Patrick’s life reflects the lives of many figures in the Bible and, of course, the story of our Savior Jesus. The hardships Jesus endured in His lifetime, including separation from His heavenly Father, the challenges of His ministry, bringing the gospel to the people, training His disciples, and His ultimate suffering and death, were all intended by God for good. For the good of those who need to hear and believe the message of Jesus’ sacrificial death so that our sins may be paid for. As the celebration and remembrance take place on March 17 in honor of St. Patrick, let us also remember with humility during this season of Lent and prepare to celebrate the gift of our resurrected Savior Jesus on Easter. Jesus was born to live a perfect life so that our sins could be placed upon Him to satisfy the punishment we deserve from God. Jesus’ sacrifice was meant by God for good, our good. Thank you, Jesus!
March 17 is recognized as the day of St. Patrick’s death after a life spent responding to God’s call to evangelize the island of Ireland. Patrick was
born in Roman Britain, as it was known during his lifetime, and was a Roman citizen. The Roman Empire at that time extended into the area where Patrick was born. Patrick’s family was Christian. His father was a town official and a church deacon, and his grandfather was a priest in the Christian faith. At the age of 16, Patrick was captured by Irish raiders who took him to Ireland and sold him as a slave. This was not uncommon; thousands of others over the years faced the same experience. Patrick became a shepherd and watched over flocks in Ireland. He wrote in his autobiographical account that he prayed many times a day, his faith and love for God increased, and he sensed the Holy Spirit at work. After six years, he escaped and made his way 200 miles to the ocean, where he secured passage back to Britain. After some time, he reunited with his family but later had a vision of a man begging him to return to Ireland and bring the gospel. He spent 15 years training as a deacon and priest, after which he was ordained as a missionary bishop to pastor the Christians already in Ireland and to evangelize those who had not yet heard the gospel.

St. Patrick Fun Facts 1. St. Patrick wasn’t Irish He was actually British. It’s believed he was born in either Wales or Scotland, making this one of the most commonly misunderstood facts about him! 2. His name wasn’t Patrick ‘Patrick’ is a name that he picked up along the way at some point. St. Patrick’s real name was ‘Maewyn Succat’. 3. He used the shamrock in his teachings St. Patrick is often associated with the shamrock. It’s said that, upon returning to Ireland, he used the three-leafed plant as a metaphor for the Hold Trinity. It is now one of the more notable symbols of Ireland, along with the Celtic Cross. 4. He didn’t banish snakes Many believe that St. Patrick banished the snakes from Ireland. However, there were never snakes in Ireland. It’s believed that the St. Patrick snakes link is all about symbolism. In Judeo-Christian tradition, snakes are the symbol of evil. It is said that St. Patrick banishing the snakes from Ireland represents his fight to bring the word of God to Ireland. 5. He spent 40 days on Croagh Patrick St. Patrick spent 40 days fasting on Croagh Patrick, battling demons and praying for Ireland. Today, thousands hike the mountain each year in his footsteps— though hopefully with better shoes.
