Message of Hope and Healing
If re-elected trustee, Michael pledges to:
• Civilianize police department jobs dedicated to fleet management and building maintenance, and place more officers on the streets. • Increase positive police interaction with residents and business owners. • Strive to return Village department staffing to proper levels. • Foster strong community partnerships with other agencies, both public and private, including school districts, the Park District, churches and civic organizations. • Provide funding to address the poor state of Lansing infrastructure – crumbling streets, sidewalks, and water leaks. • Solicit and embrace input and ideas from those who elect us.

Bishop Donald J. Hying (right) visits with retired CEO Jo Ann Birdzell (left) and CEO Leo Correa (center) at St. Catherine Hospital on the World Day of the Sick. ________________________________
Bishop Donald J. Hying visited St. Catherine Hospital on Monday, Feb. 13, as one of several stops in Northwest Indiana to observe the World Day of the Sick. Hying spoke with patients in acute care and surgery, celebrated Mass and met with hospital leaders and staff to offer hope to the sick and inspiration to those in the healthcare profession. Sr. Mary Ellen Goeller, director of pastoral care at St. Catherine Hospital said healthcare has always been an important part of the mission of the church. “It is a cornerstone of Jesus’ ministry,” she said. “We are all our brothers’ keeper.” In the Emergency Department, Hying huddled with staff to commend them for their commitment to the unit where no two days or two hours are alike. “You are on the front lines of an essential part of our vision,” he said, noting, “Healthcare is the heart of the mission. It is taking care of the sick. It’s what you do so well.” Leo Correa, who recently began his duties as chief executive officer of St. Catherine Hospital, called the bishop’s visit uplifting and inspirational.
