The IPC Senior Outreach Program aims to reduce social isolation and maintain a community network of friendship and support.

 

The program began when two elderly Irish citizens, living in Boston died alone. The IPC responded immediately to reduce isolation. Weekly calls are made from the centre each Tuesday to check in with those who are living alone and, in an effort to assist in positive and healthy aging, the Irish Pastoral Centre hosts weekly events in Brighton, Dorchester and West Roxbury and Weymouth.
 

The Irish Pastoral Centre hosts weekly Café’s for our retired and Senior community with tremendous help from many volunteers!
