Tales from the Team – Aged Care

Aged Care Ministry
SHAP Aged Care ministry includes holding brief services at several centres, including Moran, Beresford Hall, Regis and Young Street.  Often follow-up visits are requested, prayer is offered, and letters or cards are written. The staff at each of these facilities speak of the encouragement that they also receive from our visits. One of them described our services as offering valuable ‘spiritual, social and cultural input’. Good links are being made to the parish through our Community Lunches, as well as through the opportunities we are given to care for families who request funerals at either St Michael’s or St Peter’s. Please continue to pray for those who are struggling in one way or another with the vulnerabilities that accompany the ageing process, that they may have the courage, grace and hope they need.
