Association Jeanne Jugan

The Association Jeanne Jugan offers to Catholic men and women the opportunity of sharing in the spirituality of the Little Sisters of the Poor, of participating in their mission of hospitality, and of helping to spread the charism of Saint Jeanne Jugan in various social and professional milieus.

After a year of spiritual preparation, new members are inducted into the Association Jeanne Jugan on May 1st, the feast of St. Joseph, patron of the Little Sisters of the Poor.

• Volunteering in various areas of the home
• Serving as lectors and Eucharistic ministers
• Visiting Residents who are hospitalized, room-bound or in need of special attention
• Helping with the meal service
• Assuring a comforting presence with the dying Residents
• Assisting with fundraising activities
• Helping with the monthly AJJ bingo and other special events

Lend a Helping Hand and Volunteer

Volunteers provide our Residents with the extra attention that makes all the difference in their lives.

Volunteers also provide invaluable support in many areas of our Home, both in direct contact with the elderly and through indirect services in various departments.

Although they render much service, through their contact with the elderly, volunteers receive much more than they give.

Some volunteer opportunities in the Home include:

• Visiting with Residents
• Assisting with activities, crafts, chair exercise programs
• Assisting with serving Residents’ meals
• “Hidden services” such as folding clothes, ironing, vegetable preparation, etc.
• Driving and/or accompanying Residents for appointments, shopping, etc.
