Have you decided on a penance for Lent this year?
Consider this: There are many lonely men and women in Charlottesville’s nursing homes. As we have learned from science, loneliness is a key determinant in poor health prognoses, incomplete healing, and greater mental suffering. How can we help?
One way you can help is to join the Works of Mercy Ministry which has designed a creative project of hand-making greeting cards that will be distributed at the Cedars Nursing Home in Charlottesville near Easter*. All supplies will be provided and there is no charge to participate. After Lent we hope that card-making will continue.
