Echoes of the Mission Province of Prince Albert
VISITING SENIORS
Sister Jeanine Corbeil lives in a Saskatoon Senior Home at Columbian Manor.
After being in the Pastoral Ministry, teaching RCIA and being a chaplain, a cook in a few of our convents she is now retired and loves listening and visiting seniors.
Every day she gets to visit the seniors that live in the same building as her; they get to know each other during their coffee breaks.
She also makes puzzles in the lounge room where she listens to the residents and gets to chat with them and talk about their problems and family lives.
She also goes out and devotes her time to visit the seniors at Samaritan Place. She loves to visit the two Units of Alzheimer residents once a week for a whole day. The persons share with her and sometimes they have group discussions. They also have fun by singing together; one person sometimes composes the words to a song when she forgets the real words, she often sings songs by heart. This sharing brings unity among the seniors who are sometimes lonely and have no visitors.
Visiting another senior home is St. Ann’s Home where she goes and recites the Rosary with the residents; this is a time where they all look forward to this time of prayer. It makes them love the Blessed Virgin Mary more and gets them closer to God.
We took precautions during this Pandemic crisis, using masks and sensitizer, etc. while visiting.
