Young at Heart: Embracing Our Playful Youth This Halloween
Aging does not mean we have to leave our sense of play behind. In fact, play offers powerful benefits for older adults. According to the National Institute on Aging, fun, imaginative activities stimulate the mind, nurture creativity, and lower the risk of cognitive decline. Social play also relieves stress by releasing mood-boosting endorphins and significantly reduces the risk of social isolation.

Who is St. Vincent de Paul
On September 27, we celebrate the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul, the patron saint of charitable societies and the namesake of our organization. Born in France in 1581 to a humble farming family, Vincent initially sought the priesthood to secure a comfortable life. However, a profound spiritual awakening shifted his entire worldview.
