CANFIELD The Ursuline Sisters are celebrating the 20th year of the HIV / AIDS Ministry clinic that opened in May 2001.
The clinic and ministry that operate under the auspices of the Ursuline Sisters Center in Canfield has served many Valley families touched by HIV over the years.
The ministry’s director, Dan Wakefield, explained that the HIV / AIDS ministry actually has its roots almost 30 years ago.
“The ministry began in 1993 as a prayer support and bereavement ministry,” Wakefield said. “There were a lot of people affected by HIV in the area, and there was nothing available to them.”
