As we look ahead to National Caregivers Day, we thank the Little Sisters of the Poor for treating the elderly like family in Philadelphia.
As we look ahead to National Caregivers Day, see how the Little Sisters of the Poor treat the elderly like family in Philadelphia.National Caregivers Day is celebrated on the third Friday in February each year. But caring for the elderly is a daily mission for the Little Sisters of the Poor.
Sister Maria Catherine, a registered nurse, has spent 13 years with the Little Sisters of the Poor and only recently moved to Philadelphia. She shares a roof with elderly residents at the Holy Family Home in Kingsessing, where she provides care and serves meals. "The Little Sisters of the Poor are wonderful, and they're very well groomed in caring for people. And they do a very good job," said Gomes. "God blessed us for being able to come to a place like this."
"We have reached out to all of our own donor base, but we are going beyond our donor base and trying to make new friends," said Sister Veronica Proffitt, who is the beggar and development coordinator. "We're trying to invite as many people as possible and that will enlarge the capability to complete this project."
