Welcome!
This site is designed for adult children caring for an
aging
parent but
most of the material also applies if
you're helping your spouse,
or assisting a
child
or sibling with special needs,
or a friend or family
member.
Here you'll find spirituality,
information and resources for Catholic caregivers.
To read more about the
founders, Monica and Bill
Dodds, go here.
Join
the Friends of St. John the Caregiver,
an international Catholic organization
addressing the growing needs of family caregivers and
sponsor of
YourAgingParent.com. It's free!
FSJC was featured
in the
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' 2007-2008
Respect Life Program. Material for family caregivers is
available there in English and
Spanish.

Prayer Requests
Like a Student with a Summer-Reading Assignment
Dear Friends:
Like a student with a summer-reading assignment, we've
managed to get the
summer newsletter out just under the wire. It
 certainly
seems like summer ends with beginning of the new school
year although, technically, it will be here till the
third week of September.
And to our members in the southern
hemisphere: Hang in there! Winter is almost over and
spring is just around the corner.

Please join us in welcoming Monica O'D. of Ohio as the
newest member of the Friends of St. John the Caregiver.
Please keep her and her intentions in your prayers.
She's promised to pray for you and yours.
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
