Dear Parishioner, 
 
Nourish for Caregivers is a new parish support ministry for anyone juggling the challenges of everyday life caring for a disabled child, or an ill or aging parent, spouse,  grandparent, or friend in town or at a distance. If you are a caregiver, this is a support ministry for you.  If you know someone who is a caregiver, please share this with them. 
 
Nourish for Caregivers provides caregivers a faith perspective, as well as practical and emotional supports, useful tools, and shared experiences. 
 
Nourish for Caregivers is a national Catholic ministry with many resources and online webinars supporting those who can not meet with us in-person, check out their online group the third Monday of every month.  And also the Wisdom Series too. See the ‘Previous Wisdom Series’ videos on a variety of topics.  All Free.  www.nourishforcaregivers.org
