Fr. Chris Cleary to Address Needs
of the Caregiver in Nov. 8
Retreat for Health Care Professionals
West Hartford, Conn. – Are you a nurse or other
health care professional whose job it is to take care of people? Professional
caregivers are special individuals who give of themselves selflessly, but who
gives to them? How are they nurtured and sustained? How do they manage the
stress, worry, and flat-out exhaustion to which their challenging roles so often
give rise?
Fr.
Chris Cleary, a Passionist priest and former cardiac intensive care nurse, will
explore the delicate balance between caring for yourself and caring for others
in a daylong retreat for health care professionals titled “Care for the
Caregiver: A Day of Spiritual and Physical Renewal.”The retreat takes place
on Saturday, Nov. 8, from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. at Holy Family Retreat Center in West
Hartford.
“I’m
hoping this will be a small oasis for health care providers, a place
where they can be nurtured,” said Fr. Chris. “We’ll look at how they can
cultivate resilience amid the many challenges they face, and we’ll examine
practices that will enable them to serve others in a way that is spiritually
sustainable and life-giving.”
In
additional to his nursing experience, Fr. Chris has worked in retreat ministry,
spiritual direction, training in religious formation, and youth ministry. He
holds a B.S. in nursing from Widener College and a Master in Divinity degree
from the Catholic Theological Union.
The
retreat will include inspirational talks, dialogue, yoga, and free time to rest.
Healing arts therapies will be available at an additional cost. The offering to
attend is $65 and includes lunch. Holy Family Retreat Center is located at 303
Tunxis Road in West Hartford. For more information and to register, call 860-760-9705 or visit www.holyfamilyretreat.org
