WINSLOW — The Sisters of St. Joseph of Lyon, located at the St. Joseph Center on 80 Garland Road, plans to run a Let’s Connect technology workshop this month.

The free monthly technology workshops, for anyone older than 55, are focused on safely using technology in daily lives: dealing with malicious emails, web browsing, using video conferencing to connect with family and friends, online shopping, and more.

This month’s sessions are set for 1:15-2:45 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, and Wednesday, Nov. 16.

In advance of the holiday season, safe internet shopping practices will be covered at the November sessions. Those who plan to attend any session can call 207-873-4512 or email connect@csjmaine.org.

Other programs at the center include:

• Rose’s Room, a monthly, nonsectarian support group for those with a loved one in prison or jail. The group meets via Zoom at 7 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month. To participate or have any questions about this compassionate and confidential ministry or would rather set up an individual meeting, email rosesroom2018@gmail.com.
