A03 Aging and Spirituality: A Free Program for Seniors in Your Parish

The Church Home of the Diocese of Chicago has developed a six session program that facilitates reflection and acknowledgement of the gifts of life through simply living your life. This program invites participants to reflect on their own experiences of the aging process and to seek and acknowledge the presence of God in this time of their lives. The sessions encourage self-reflection through group reading of scripture, poetry, and essays, along with the opportunity to share thoughts and stories. The topics are Identity, Connection, Purpose, Loss, Change, and Joy. Each session builds upon the previous and at the end of the sessions, the formation of a community of friends has begun.
