Celebrating the Gift of Years
Special Saturday Puts Seniors in the Spotlight
It has been said that the first 40 years in the book of our lives gives us the text, and the next 30 provide the commentary of it. Yes, our elder years have value, are to be celebrated, and to be lived fully. This is a time when we discover that our real purpose in life is to understand life, and then to pass that wisdom on to others.
“What elders have to give to a world caught up in newness and energy is meaning, experience, objectivity and, yes, wisdom,” says Sister Marguerite Stewart. “How important it is to keep growing in this time of life. More than that, we are ready to be models to generations to come of lives lived with God, lived fully and well.”
Join Sister Marguerite and the St. Francis Center for Renewal team for the second annual Senior Day at SFCR: Celebrating the Gift of Years next Saturday, May 13. The program begins at 10 a.m. with an opening prayer service, followed by Sister’s talk, lunch, discussion and sharing with other seniors. Things wrap up by 3 p.m. with a relaxing walk around our Monocacy Manor grounds in Bethlehem, Pa. Don’t live nearby? No problem. You can take part in the main discussion online via Zoom on your computer, tablet or phone. Share this special time with our Sisters as we pray together, share
together and and celebrate our “gift of years.”
