Reconnect and Recharge
This day is for you - men and women who care for family members, neighbors and friends with chronic illness, age issues, mental or physical challenges, rehabilitation, addiction, grandparents raising grandchildren, and distance care due to COVID-19.
As a caregiver you have given witness of your faith. You honor your family members and friends with your care, your time, your patience, and your love. While this experience can be filled with many rewards, it can also involve challenges that include worries, hardship, and heartache in trying to provide or procure the best possible care for your loved one.
A day just for you
The Caregivers' Day of Prayer and Care was developed by church volunteers and members of the local community to support and honor you in the important work you do providing daily attention to those in special need of care, termed “ordinary holiness" by Saint John Paul II the Great.
