The purpose of the Health & Wholeness Center is to serve everyone 55
years of age and older by addressing the needs of the whole person.

Some programs require a minimum fee to cover the cost of materials.
Any donation to help defray operating expenses will be greatly appreciated.

"Although human nature itself is inclined to be compassionate toward the elderly
and the young, the authority of the Rule should also provide for them."
Chapter 37 - Rule of Benedict

Some of our activities Include:

Water aerobics and Tai Chi classes	Oil and watercolor painting classes
Scripture & Spirituality classes	Potluck lunches and Annual High Tea
Movies and Day trips	Crafts - weaving and needlework

Sr. Joan Chittister, OSB says that, "the old have something to give us provided that we give them something as well." It is a vital lesson. "People do not become useless simply because they do not have the strength or stamina of middle age. Life is a series of phases, each of them important, all of them worthwhile." As articulated by our seniors, the ministry of the Health & Wholeness Center is to those who are poor in spirit, poor in health, those who lack meaning in their lives, those who are lonely, those who are reluctant to seek the support they so desperately need, those who lack an opportunity to exercise and those who need companionship. Many live from social security check to check. Many have been blessed economically. All come as one. No hype. No hoopla. All companions on the often disenfranchising journey of aging.
