Through this new outreach program at St. Gregory the Great Church, dogs and their owners will bring emotional healing to children and adults who are grieving or are in need of comfort through a visit.
The Golden Halo Outreach is present after the Sensory-Adapted Masses the first Saturday of every month, which was formed by the GRACE Ministry at St. Gregory The Great. The children and their parents love petting the dogs and it gives them great joy.
The Golden Halo Outreach also comes to the Anointing of the Sick and Healing Masses. They have been very busy going to nursing homes such as Clare Estates in Bordentown and Brookdale in Hamilton.
If you would like more information about this outreach, please contact parishioner and golden retriever owner Mary Theresa Weil at 609-516-6907 or weil4759@gmail.com.
