Join Ellie, our Wellness Ministry Coordinator, for an opportunity to use the facility for indoor and outdoor walking!  This fall session will highlight Archangels, guardian angels, and angel Q&A with prayers and novenas available. Contact Ellie in the Parish Office for information and to sign up. 

When:  Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8:30 am - 11:30 am (except on days with funerals) September 4th through November 22nd. 

• Strollers are welcome! 
• You can use a walker, cane, or other adaptive device, but you must be able to walk independently unless you have a caregiver with you. 
• You may walk alone or in a group. 
• A map will be provided for keeping track of distances walked and areas of the building available for use. 

Classes are offered free of charge on Monday and Friday* mornings at 9:30 in Nelson Hall. While both classes emphasize posture and balance, Monday’s class is more of a stretching focus and Friday’s class has more emphasis on strengthening. Water bottles are available to use as weights. Otherwise, many parishioners bring their own hand weights to Friday’s class. 

*Beginning Friday September 6th, the Friday class will be the SAIL program, facilitated by Ellie. We are also adding a SAIL class at Noon on Tuesdays.  SAIL stands for Stay Active and Independent for Life and is an evidenced-based program that integrates strength, balance, and fitness exercises. It is geared for those 65+ or other adults who may be at risk for falls. The exercises can ALL be done sitting or standing. You can join at any time. There is no charge for this program for parishioners. Bring water and wear athletic shoes. No sandals please. Coffee and fellowship after class. Contact Ellie at [email protected] or 920-865-7844 for more information.
