Easter celebrations from Rome to Werribee
Several aged care leaders have gathered in Rome this Easter for a pilgrimage, while residents in Victoria have taken part in an intergenerational egg hunt.
As part of the Jubilee of the Sick and Health Care Workers, and through the support of Catholic Health Australia, aged care and health leaders took part in a pilgrimage to Rome this year.
Pilgrimages are a chance for devotees to reflect and foster a deeper commitment to their religion, with director of mission Brigid Meney saying it was a particularly impactful time to attend as Easter is the season of renewal and hope.
Meanwhile back in Australia, Manor Court Werribee Aged Care in Victoria began their Easter celebrations with an Easter egg hunt for the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the residents.
In a LinkedIn post, Manor Court wrote how wonderful it was to see the generations coming together, sharing smiles, stories and treats.
The community-owned, not-for-profit aged care home also ran other Easter activities, including making chocolate, planting some carrots and broccoli and hosting a barbecue at the Wyndham Harbour.
