Ministries of Support

We are a group of Catholic women offering spiritual support for one another in our struggles with chronic illness and physical pain.  We meet weekly to study Scripture, grow in faith through friendship with Christ, and offer prayer for one another.  We also pray specifically for new parishioners and deceased members of our parish and their families. Those who participate are bound to maintain confidentiality. We meet weekly on Wednesdays 1:00-3:00pm in the church meeting rooms.

Journey with us as “senior” Catholics!  We meet the 1^st Friday of each month from 9:30-11:30 AM in the church meeting rooms for fellowship and interesting talks on a variety of subjects, and at a local restaurant on the 3^rd Monday of each month from 11:00 AM-12:30 PM to “Feed the Soul”.  Bus trips are also planned!  For current events, refer to the bulletin.

We come together to pray, encourage one another, and offer hope to others living with mental health challenges and other life stressors. This is not a counseling or therapy group. Rather, it is a faith-based gathering where we share our experiences, utilize group wisdom, and support one another. WE ARE NOT ALONE.

This ministry also seeks to educate ourselves and others about mental health, increase awareness, and help reduce the stigma that often surrounds mental health challenges.

Meeting Times: 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month, 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM

Location: Solanus Casey House, 405 Quaker Drive, York, PA (across the street from St. Joseph Church)

Facilitators: Barb Full, Theresa Kniery, Dr. Andre Lijoi
