Seniors Ministry
The seniors ministry of St. John the Divine is here to help meet the unique spiritual, physical and emotional needs of our aging parishioners and their families through a variety of educational, outreach, and support programs.
We connect our members with a variety of volunteer opportunities to share their life experience with the parish and community. We bring in experts to give their advice on topics of interest to seniors and their families. And sometimes we just like to have fun together!
For more information about the seniors ministry activities, programs, and services, please email Susan Davis or call 713.354.2264.
St. John the Divine provides leading programming and resources to allow our seniors and their families to deal with the significant challenges that come with aging!
