Caregivers Ministry

We are happy to announce
 that we are now offering a ministry
 to those who care for others!
 
SS Peter and Paul invites you to join a group that provides emotional, physical, and educational support for caregivers.

This group meets on the first Wednesday of each month from 12 noon to 1:15 PM in Room #1 of the Classroom Building. Each gathering will include prayer and an opportunity to support one another through facilitated conversations.

Who can participate:

Anyone providing caregiving to a loved one, either full or part time and the entire age spectrum. All are invited, whether your loved one's needs are physical, mental or emotional. Through the shared wisdom of the participants, we hope to provide you the emotional, educational, and spiritual support to assist you in your role as caregiver. From time to time, we will also have experienced professionals on hand who may be able to assist you with resources and educational materials. There is no charge to participate in the monthly gatherings. No RSVP is required.
