The number of elderly has multiplied, but our societies are not organized well enough to make room for them, with proper respect and practical consideration for their frailty and their dignity… And the elderly are a wealth not to be ignored.” – Pope Francis.

Support for a senior ministry within a church is crucial to a churches success.
