Whereas, St. Columba Catholic Church Parish, can provide opportunities to enrich the lives of individuals of all ages by: • involving older adults in the redefinition of aging in our community; • promoting home- and community-based services that support independent living; • encouraging older adults to speak up for themselves and others; and • providing opportunities for older adults to share their experiences.
Now therefore, We the Health Cabinet of St. Columba Catholic Church Parish, do hereby proclaim May 2017 to be Older Americans Month. We urge every member of our Parish to take time during this month to acknowledge older adults and the people who serve them as influential and vital parts of our community.
