Parishioner Susan Stabile led an evening surrounding the Seven Sorrows of Mary and how they relate to our lives. These sorrows commemorate the seven sorrows that the Virgin Mary experienced throughout her life: the prophecy of Simeon, the flight into Egypt, the loss of the Jesus in the temple, the meeting of Jesus carrying his cross, the crucifixion, the taking down of the body of Jesus from the cross, and the burial of Jesus. The evening gave us an opportunity to reflect on Mary's sorrows, and notice how we might experience similar pains; loss of loved ones, illness, and other personal struggles.
Lisa Brown from Lyngblomsten Community Services came to teach about the challenges caregivers face when providing support and care for someone living with memory loss. She shared about the broad range of supportive resources and services available in the community, and how building a community of support for those caring for others can make a world of difference.
