The Gathering

The Gathering is a safe and stimulating day of fun for people with special needs (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Stroke, Dementia, shut-ins, etc.). Our theme-based “party” is on Thursdays, while family and caregivers are given time off to rest or run errands after dropping off their guests. Parish volunteers are on hand to assist our guests with various activities. Our typical day starts with a sing-a-long or entertainment, followed by a theme-related craft, exercise like beach ball, volleyball, table basketball or the Hokey Pokey in our chairs. They are served a delicious lunch and eagerly await Bingo. Each activity is designed to stimulate either the mind, body or both. You must register beforehand in order to attend.
