"Who's Caring for the Caregiver" Workshop

Saturday, December 1^st - 1:00 to 3:00 PM 
Diocese of Davenport Chancery Office
780 W Central Park Avenue, Davenport, IA

Today, family caregivers represent 65 million Americans; virtually every one of us will care for someone at some point in our life.  Caregivers in our parishes are juggling the challenges of life, health, family, career and caring for an ailing or aging parent, grandparent, or spouse, whether in town or from a distance.  The Catholic Church has a long history of accompanying people during times of change and transition, in her Sacraments, ministries and support groups.  Yet few parishes right now offer caregiver support.  Nourish is a turn-key program to enable parish communities to minister to these family caregivers, helping them embrace the graces and blessings that come in caring for another with a Christ-centered view.

See Flyer  for more information.
Registration Deadline is November 23
