In our Western culture where the ideal is to be young, there are a lot of negative messages about aging. Unfortunately these negative messages and attitudes can be internalized by older people and be a form of oppression called ageism. However, there are many blessings that come with aging and retirement that can be overlooked if the ideal is simply to be young.Fr. Warren, along with the help of two wise elders, while acknowledging the challenges of aging, will offer a positive view of aging and being an elder and its many blessings. Please register in advance below.
Fr. Warren entered the Jesuits in 1964 and was ordained in June 1977. He has Master's Degrees in Pastoral Counseling, Philosophy and a Master of Divinity. He became the Pastor of St. Thomas More in June, 2016 and retired in June, 2022. He has enjoyed his 50+ years as Jesuit and is grateful for the various ministries he’s been called to that have provided opportunities to make a difference in the world and in peoples’ lives.
