Our Mission
"As a parent of an incredible young man with a cognitive disability, I have wished for meaningful connection with other parents/caregivers to share triumphs, struggles and everyday stories!" - Laura Sullivan, SAL parishioner
The Caregiver Support Ministry is facilitated by parishioners Laura Sullivan and Kathy Murray. Their goal is to help others connect and share information, acknowledge and validate emotions, empower each other to resolve issues, and reduce feelings of isolation. Husbands, fathers, and adult siblings are invited too!
Please note: Care is not provided during meetings.
A BLESSING FOR CAREGIVERS
May you see with tender eyes
The wounds of those before you.
May you hear with well-tuned ears
The unspoken needs of those whose voices are muted.
May you hold with gentle hands
The bodies and the spirits of those you care for.
May the beauty of the soul,
The strength of spirit,
The wholeness of being
Lead you, inspire you
And let you know your own
Beauty of soul,
Strength of spirit,
Wholeness of being.
May you know that,
As you care for others,
God cares for you, sees you,
Holds you tenderly.
Amen.
