Care for the Whole Person Initiative

Care for the Whole Person refers to improved access to palliative and hospice care for seriously ill and dying people in our parishes and communities.  The goal is to ensure that persons in congregations, communities and hospitals are loved, wanted and worthy, and will be prepared and supported in health and serious illness through the end of life.

The weekend is designed to help married couples communicate more intimately with on another in order to deepen and enrich their relationship.  The weekend is free from everyday routines, distractions and tensions.  An atmosphere is created where the couple can concentrate exclusively on one another in a private and confidential environment.  A series of presentations that touch on many aspects of marraige is given by three couples and a Catholic priest.  Afte each presentation, the couple has time in the privace of their own room for personal sharing using the communication techniques learned on the weekend.   There are no group discussions.  The weekend runs from 8PM on Friday to 5PM on Sunday.  All faith expressions are welcome!
