Elder care

Do you know that Saint Philip’s has 183 members in their 80’s? 56 members in their 90’s? And 5 people who are 100 years or older?

The parish’s Elder Care program is seeking volunteers to “adopt” one or more senior members. All you have to do is make a phone call on a mutually acceptable schedule with your adoptee to find out how they are doing and share your phone number if they need anything.

“[They] should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God.” 1 Timothy 5:4

Staying connected and showing kindness in this way doesn’t take a lot of time and is greatly appreciated by the elder care recipient. To become a volunteer, please contact Dcn Tom Lindell at tlindell@email.arizona.edu or parishioner John Koza at jdkoza007@gmail.com. Thank you!
