It is our aware, active parishioners who meet for luncheon fellowship and informational talks every month. Morris Hall is generally full with 56 to 95 attendees. Formed in 2007 by Tom and Carol Gaughan, the ministry’s goal is to improve the quality of life for those who are going toward retirement or have already retired.
Talks by experts have ranged from “Keeping Your Driver’s License”, “Wills and Trusts”, “Pope’s Visit to the U.S.”, “Study Trip to Turkey in the Year of St. Paul”, “Static in the Attic” or keeping your memory, to the “Many Services of St. Vincent de Paul”.
The ministry also supports the church financially and provides service to other ministries, such as selling chili and hot dogs at the Christmas Bazaar, soft drinks at the Food Festival, casino trips for the Music Ministry, turkeys for Social Concerns.
