“The just shall flourish like the palm tree...they shall bear fruit even in old age, always vigorous and sturdy, As they proclaim: ‘The LORD is just; our rock, in whom there is no wrong.’” (Ps 92:13-16)
HEY! ... Let's All Get Together!
While Harvest House has a diocesan office, it is a parish-centered organization for Catholic adults aged 65 or older. Therefore, a group like our St. Francis - St. Ambrose organization is called a "center." The seniors in Harvest House are a lively group of Catholics who rejoice in the God-given gift of dear friendship. Not only do they worship together, they travel together, pray together, laugh together, and love one another. If you are looking for a place to belong, as well as a place where God can use your gifts, then Harvest House is the place for you!
Who Can Join?
Membership is open to all parishioners age 65 and older, and to spouses even when one does not meet the age requirement. We also welcome retirees of any age and there are no dues.
What Do We Do?
We keep things pretty informal. Our local Harvest House center meets about once a month. Meetings are usually "hosted" by one or more of our members and the honor of hosting is passed around on a voluntary basis. A monthly meeting might include a presentation by an area expert on an interesting topic; or it can involve an occasional field-trip to a museum or attraction. Most of our monthly events include a meal which is why we often include an area restaurant in our plans. On occasion we even schedule a bus trip or take advantage of trips or pilgrimages scheduled by our churches or the Diocese Harvest House Office. Our goal is to keep membership, and activities affordable.
