ear Friends:
On this week of the annual
March for Life,
we want to remember all families who provide care for a
child with special needs.
It
isn't just parents and siblings, but grandparents,
aunts, uncles, and cousins who may play an important
role in helping. And, for members of the child's own
generation, offering that help can go on for many
decades. (We hear from some caregivers who now assist
their adult brother or sister because Mom and Dad have
passed away or, because of age and poor health, they are
no longer able to provide the needed care.)
Caregiving is pro-life!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who have responded to this year's
Annual Appeal. (No, it's not too late to make a
donation. There's an information letter
here and donor form
here. Or you can give
online.
Thank you!)

This week we're so pleased to welcome Arthur F. of
Michigan as the newest member of the Friends of St. John
the Caregiver. Please keep him and his intentions in
your prayers. He has promised to pray for you and yours.
And again this week we cordially invite you to join
the Friends of St. John
the Caregiver! (FSJC's programs include
YourAgingParent.com and
CatholicCaregivers.com.) You can find out more about
becoming a member here.
No meetings, no dues. All we ask is that
you pray for caregivers and those receiving care. Our members include
caregivers, care-receivers, and those who support both
(including quite a few former caregivers).
You can:
sign up on-line here
or call us toll-free at
1-800-392-JOHN (5646)
or
print and mail an application form.
God
bless you!
Monica and Bill
