Resources and Services for our Elderly and their Families
Sr. Kathy Stuttgen and Therese van Oss are pastoral ministers who work with our senior members. Silver Circle Our Silver Circle group are friendly, welcoming people who enjoy time together. Call Sr. Kathy to ask about getting involved! Health Care Decisions and Documents A great gift that you can give your family is to clearly state and properly document your wishes regarding health care in the event that you become unable to make decisions yourself. Perhaps there are specific procedures that you do or do not want, or you would like to name a particular person to make decisions on your behalf. Whatever your wishes may be, it is important to discuss and document them. Without this, your family might face very painful decisions or conflicts. Sr. Kathy is trained and certified to help you with the whole process. She can help you understand and sort out your choices, then properly and legally document them. She can also answer your questions about how the church views end-of-life issues. Homebound or in a Care Facility Our pastor celebrates Mass at the Hillview Healthcare Center is on most Thursday afternoons at 2:30.
Advocacy for our Elderly Sr. Kathy is an energetic and experienced advocate for the interests and rights of our elderly. If you are aware of any senior who may need an advocate or simply a friendly ear, please call Sr. Kathy. Loss and Grieving Sr. Kathy and Therese van Oss, our pastoral ministers, offer extensive support for people in grief. Please visit our Grief Resources page. |
