About the “Seniors at Arch
Street”
About Us
The “Seniors at
Arch Street” gather on Wednesdays for a 10:00 AM
Mass, followed by coffee, various presentations, good
conversation, and a hearty lunch.
The program was launched in gratitude to the seniors
who have supported Saint Anthony Shrine from its founding,
and still faithfully come to pray and worship here.
The aim is to provide a time and place where seniors
have the opportunity to share stories of past and present,
receive information on topics that relate to their
stage of life, and enjoy a nourishing meal together.
The seniors look forward to this monthly gathering
and many friendships have been forged around this community
event.
 The “Seniors at Arch Street” enjoy presentations at their monthly gatherings
that include the following:
- Healthcare
- Spirituality
- Art
- Preparing for
the Inevitable
- and Special Events, such as:
Senior Video and Crafts Groups
On Tuesdays,
a group of seniors gathers for Morning Prayer, watches a spiritually themed
video, and participates in craft making. One of the
special projects that the seniors
do on Tuesdays is called “Project Linus,” which provides blankets, hand made
with love, for children suffering the trauma of serious illness, neglect
or abuse.
We work on projects that you
may be familiar with, or that may help you learn a
new skill. We also watch videos, which sometimes lead
to lively discussion. It's a great way to socialize
with old and new friends!
