Soupless sermon with Sr. Pam - part 2
As we continue our study and discussion on “The Blessings of Aging” with Sr. Joan Chittister we are all growing in understanding the
difference between aging and just growing old.
Here’s some thoughts I shared from the book, “Timeless: Natures’s Formula for Health and Longevity “by Louis Cozolino:
In this book Cozolino outlines why our brains and bodies need social connections to age well. He says, “of all the experiences we need to survive and thrive, it is the experience of relating to others that is the most meaningful and important.”
He says that our brains are social organs and that means we are wired to connect with each other and to interact in groups. A life that maximizes social interaction and human-to-human contact is good for the brain at every stage but particularly for the aging brain...
Positive relationships help us learn better, stay healthier and live longer. How we bond and stay
attached to others is at the core of our resilience, self-esteem and physical health…
People who lead extraordinary long lives are those who have maintained close ties to others. They tend to reach out to others more; giving and receiving support and maintaining attachments.
So what should we learn from this author?

So what should we learn from this author?
- Don’t stay home alone all the time.
- Visit a friend.
- Call someone on the phone.
- Hang over the fence and talk to your neighbor.
- Chat with people at the grocery store,
- Volunteer some place: at church, the food pantry, the thrift store, the library……
Stay connected to PEOPLE
and you will live an extraordinary long life!!!

Are you longing to receive Holy Communion but don’t quite feel safe coming to Mass? St. Mary’s Omro and Winneconne will be offering Eucharist outside of Mass on the second and fourth Sunday afternoons of the month for the next few months. Sister Pam will even deliver Holy Communion to your car if you’d rather not come inside or if it is difficult for you to do so.
We encourage you to watch the St. Mary Omro livestream mass at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, the Winneconne livestream at 10:30 a.m., or Bishop Ricken’s TV Mass at 10:30 a.m. on WFRV Local 5 before coming to church. Links for the livestream masses are found above.

Resources for Prayer and
Engagement during Coronavirus
Many people are understandably experiencing uncertainty and anxiety due to the spread of COVID-19.
The severity of the situation has forced our leaders to make significant changes in our daily lives including suspending publicly celebrated Masses. Recognizing these changes likely leave us even more in need of God’s grace,
The USCCB and other Catholic partners have generously made their resources available to support prayer during these difficult days.
Please use freely and share with others. A sense of community is of the upmost importance. We must encourage each other, take care of each other, pray for each other and stay connected to our faith during this time of social distancing.
