Understanding Dementia: A Challenging Journey by Hospice of the Valley


Saturday, March 28th, 9am - 11am

Fellowship Hall

Facilitated by Maribeth Gallagher


Come learn about dementia and how it progresses from early to advanced stages. You will learn how to develop strategies to make and maintain meaningful connections with a person with dementia. We’ll explore ways to reduce stress and further the value of the caregiver role.


Hospice of the Valley’s Dementia Program has received national and international awards for its innovative approaches to dementia care. Register here.

Serve at St. Vincent de Paul on Easter!


Sunday, April 5 at 10:00am


There are five spots left to serve at St. Vincent de Paul on Easter Sunday, April 5th. Join our fun team as we serve the noon meal to those in need. We will be done by 1:30pm.


This is a rewarding opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus! On the first Sunday of every month, a group goes to the Phoenix dining room located at 1300 W. Harrison St., Phoenix 85007, and they prep and serve, then clean up after the noon meal. Bring your spouse, a teen who needs service hours, or a friend, and make new friends who have a heart to serve!

 

After you register, you will receive an email from Luann Helepololei (Lch03@aol.com) with the gate code to enter the SVdP parking lot, and any other instructions you may need. However, if you would like to ride with someone who is leaving from the church after the 8am service, please let Luann know.
