SALT LAKE CITY – A free virtual training to help people “gain the confidence to journey with those who are suffering social isolation, sick, or dying, to renew their hope and purpose in life” will be offered by the Diocese of Salt Lake City Office of Family Life and the diocesan Respect Life Commission.
“We live in a time of loneliness, of lack of connections, particularly during the pandemic. The elderly in our community have been living in isolation from friends and family for a long time,” said Catherine Stokes, chairperson of the Diocesan Respect for Life Commission. “Speaking with Catholics around the diocese, many have expressed a strong desire to find better ways to reach out to those among us who would like more support.”
