Washington D.C., Jul 27, 2021 / 13:00 pm (CNA).
Ahead of the inaugural World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly this past Sunday, the communications director for the Little Sisters of the Poor described how the order cares for the elderly as people of inherent dignity and worth.
Sister Constance Veit, the communications director for the Little Sisters of the Poor, told
EWTN News In Depth on July 23 how she and her sisters live “to assure the elderly that they’ll never be alone, they’ll never be abandoned.”
“First of all, we say to them, each of us says to them, ‘I will always be with you,’” she explained. “But then, we hope that our presence will be a reminder to them that God is always with them. It doesn’t stop with us, but our whole hope and our whole effort is to bring the presence of Christ to them.”
