Memory Care Support and Prayer Group

On May.16.12 , In Aging and Health by

The memory care support and prayer group that I lead at the St. Paul Monastery (2675 Benet Road, St. Paul, MN 55109) continues to meet on the second Tuesday of each month from 7-9 p.m.  HOWEVER, IN JUNE THE GATHERING WILL BE ON THE THIRD TUESDAY (JUNE 19)  The group recently requested that we continue to meet throughout the summer.

This setting provides a safe place for caregivers of  those with dementia related illness to talk about feelings, explore ways to support one another, pray and be in the quiet.  The group becomes a refuge and a place to be cared for.

This group has been meeting since September, 2011 and while there are many who come each month,there are new faces that continue to join the group.  If you live in the Twin Cities area, you are invited to join us.

  • REACHING YOUNG ADULTS

    Had an interesting experience last Sunday that defied the popular belief.  I was visiting a 100 year old Scandinavian Lutheran congregation that some said was dying.  A neighborhood church with outstanding traditional worship. What amazed me first was the rich music.  Then powerful preaching.  Then a reception of new members (quite a crowd) and all [...]

  • Swimming Lessons: Reflection, Relearning, Renewal

    Recently, I figured out that I took my first swimming lessons 55 years ago.  Yes, I was 10 years old when I started at the YMCA in Decatur, Illinois.  Once I got over my fear of the water, I had a good time swimming, and I really liked to swim. Once again, I am taking [...]

  • INTEGRATED LIVING: Transitional Living Toward Focused Mission

    What is it that one might reflect upon?  It seems to me that reflection begins with values and a movement toward authenticity.  In a life where there is little in the way of reflection it is easy to move in disconnected directions.  When this happens a person tends to become what others desire rather than [...]
