Senior Ministries
The mission of Senior Ministries is to help the diocese and its congregations establish ministries which both celebrate the involvement of seniors in congregation life and respond to senior needs.
Senior Ministries reaches out to the individual, the congregation, and the diocese. Commission members are available to assist congregations in developing active ministries to, for, of and with senior members of the congregation. Tailored presentations are available on diverse topics such as:
- Development of pastoral care or visitation teams;
- Planning for one's later years;
- Community educational forums on issues and concerns on caring for a loved one;
- Help in developing intergenerational activities.
All programs are designed to support and enrich participants, expand awareness and sensitivity, educate clergy and laity about community resources available for their use, and to provide practical answers to the concerns expressed by members of diocesan congregations.
