SPIRITUALITY AND DEMENTIA

Three members of the Commission are members of the group, led by Elizabeth Hughes of the Bridgend deanery with the support of Monsignor Bob Reardon, working in the archdiocese to promote good practice in the pastoral support offered  to those experiencing dementia and their families.

The Bridgend and Pontypridd Spirituality & Dementia Workshop held in September at All Hallows, Miskin, and the Archdiocesan Awareness Day held at St. Joseph’s School Newport in October 2010 were both very successful in raising awareness of the issue and suggesting how best we can move forward  in our Archdiocese.
