WINSLOW — The Sisters of St. Joseph of Lyon at the St. Joseph Center, located at 80 Garland Road, is offering a variety of programs.
The Let’s Connect technology workshop teaches people 55 and older to safely use technology in daily life, according to Toni Marie Fredette, director of technology for the Sisters.
“On the third Tuesday of the month from 1:15 to 2:45 p.m., participants can come once or more and learn about dealing with malicious emails, web browsing, using video conferencing to connect with family and friends, online shopping, and much more,” Fredette said, according to a news release from Dave Guthro, communications director, Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland.
Those interested in attending can call 207-873-4512.
Other offerings at the center aim to provide education, support, and comfort year-round:
Becoming a Welcoming Community
This group seeks to reach out to LGBT+ persons and their loved ones, per the call of the U.S. bishops in their statement “Always Our Children.” Participants are welcomed with respect, compassion and sensitivity.
