In 2008, a Chapel Welcome Center should also be completed for visitors to learn more information.

John Herman Schultz, 79, helped create the Cross Foundation which sponsors the "I Love You" card program at St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital.

The program is designed to promote communication within families. Many families that tell each other "I love you" have feelings of comfort, acceptance and love.

A study from Iowa State University shows children brought up in a nurturing environment are more likely to have stronger marriages in the future.

In August 2001, St. Anthony's was the first hospital in the nation to propose an original program for new parents. The "I Love You" card program encourages parents to offer a nurturing environment in a child's life.

Each parent of a newborn baby receives a card promoting traditional language in the home.

According to cross.usa.org, parents are recommended to say 'I love you' as the first words in the morning and the last words at night.

The Cross Foundation is a not for profit organization, which is funded by private donations to renovate and restore utilities.
