Meetings
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic is of major concern to Seniors, and is greatly impacting our planning. We do not expect to offer luncheon meetings before next January and we are exploring options for packaged meals from local establishments, with priority being given to independent or family owned restaurants.
The planned fall bus trip to “Sight & Sound” theater in Lancaster, PA is canceled.
Virtual Meetings this Fall
We are also exploring a series of monthly “Virtual Meetings” using Zoom, offering Rosary and a speaker and panel discussion around topics of interest to Seniors.
Attendees would be at home, or meet in small groups maintaining appropriate social distancing around a computer connected to a large screen TV.
If you would like to be invited to these “experimental virtual meetings,” please email Dave Keefe at [email protected].
Our first virtual zoom meeting was Wednesday, September 16th at 1.00 p.m. The highlight of our zoom was our first speaker, Father Bob Kilner, the new parochial Vicar of Saint Patrick's. Father stated that "nothing online replaces what we do in person....we are body and spirit." Father gave us an enthusiastic review of how the parish is reawakening since Covid descended on us. His philosophy is to make use of the media skills he has developed in his previous parish in ways that would be appropriate for St. Patrick's. Some examples to be considered are:
He is currently offering Tuesday afternoons and evenings of Recollection through 20 minute meditations which are conversations with Our Lord
Father Bob is tech literate but he wants each of us to reach out to people via phone and email too
Our second virtual Zoom meeting will be Wednesday, October 14, at 1:00 pm
