Becoming Well, Wise, and Whole in our Maturing Years
The Archdiocese of Detroit is sponsoring a conference for all maturing
adults, age 55 and older at St. Aidan Parish, 17500 Farmington Road, Livonia. The conference is titled From Success to Significance: Listening to God’s Call in our Maturing Years. For more information, call the Office of Faith Formation/Catechetics at 313-237-4665 or 313-237-4805.
Experts speak of three phases in maturing adults: “Boomers,” those preretired
(55–65); “Builders,” those already retired (65–80); and “Elders,”  those physically diminishing or homebound. Significantly, studies show that three in four persons aged 65–74 and two in three of those over 75 enjoy health that is “good to excellent.”
Our parish communities are recognizing that seeing older people solely as recipients of care is no longer an adequate response. The archdiocese seeks to assist parishes in developing new pastoral responses that build upon these phases of later life. Join with us to explore possibilities and celebrate our gifts.
