Tue, Jun 14th 2016, 03:59 PM

IN AN effort to raise funds for its Adult Day Care Centre, St. Joseph’s Parish will present a “A Night of Musical Entertainment” tomorrow. The event will feature piano selections by students of the church’s music programme, renditions by St. Francis Joseph Catholic Primary School choir, a performance by student violinists as well as selections by special guests. The public is invited to attend. According to Sister Cecilia Albury, proceeds from the event – at the parish centre, Boyd Road, starting at 6:30pm – will go towards the Adult Day Care Centre.

For the past 12 years, St. Joseph’s Parish has operated the centre that caters to the overall physical, social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of the elderly in its care. The day care centre provides supervised care, planned activities and health services for the elderly who would otherwise be at home during the day. There they are able to share their feelings and gain support from their peers. Services at the centre are provided by a team of professionals and paraprofessionals in a structured therapeutic environment to assist the elderly, manage and maintain connections with the community and use all of their retained skills.

Admission for the event is $5.
