Hannah wants ideas on Positive Ageing

Kilcullen’s Pastoral Worker Hannah Evans thinks that there might be quite a few older people out there not getting the opportunity to make the most of their lives in the golden years.

So she is teasing out some ideas in conjunction with other groups who are involved with older folk in Kilcullen that may result in getting them out more.

A kickoff for the idea is already in planning for 1 October, when the normal Thursday morning Hospitality Tea event in the Parish Centre will incorporate a special ‘positive aging’ talk and discussion, as well as entertainment.

“That’s the middle of the national ‘Positive Aging Week’, which runs from 28 September through to 3 October,” Hannah says. “It seems like a good opportunity to see what can be done. I’d really appreciate any ideas from other people in the parish.”

Hannah can be contacted at the Parish Centre beside the church.
