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.

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
