As our world population ages, so does the senior population in our parishes. Does the parish meet the needs and address the problems that people over 50, 60 and beyond have to deal with on a daily basis? In our parish, Harvest House is our senior progam available to anyone over 55. This group meets every second Wednesday for noon Mass and lunch. Sometimes bingo or a guest speaker is on the agenda. Seniors gather in the Church Meeting Room. Participants do not have to be members of St. Anthony's Parish, only a desire for fellowship with other seniors. Rides may be arrange for those who no longer drive. For further information you may call Maxine at 259-5230, or the parish office @ 282-2308.
If you are a resource and would like to help others in their grieving process, please call Peggy in the parish office, or e-mail pgibney45@sbcglobal.net. For those experiencing recent loss of a loved one, the links below may be helpful.
