DENVER Catholic Register Vol. LXIX No. 47 November 24,1993_____ Colorado’s Largest Weekly ^ 24 Pages 35 Cents Hospice: peace for the dying

By KEITH COFFMAN For the caregivers at the Archdiocese of Denver’s Hospice of Peace, the morale of the staff is just as vital to their mission as the care provided to patients and their families. With this in mind, Ann Luke, executive director of the hospice, conducts voluntary “team gatherings” for staffers to share their thoughts on how their work affects them personally and professionally. “It’s a tribute to Ann that she doesn’t Just talk team wellness, she assures it,” said Ron Valladao, coordinator of pastoral care. At a recent gathering, staffers shared their experi­ ences on dealing with patients and their families. One 81 -year-old woman who died recently was a particular favorite of the staff. The woman had a rare opportunity to meet Pope John Paul II during World Youth Day. “The pope embraced and blessed her,” Valladao said. “It was as if he understood her pain and brought a sense of peace to her.” Sister Joan Van Leeuwen, a certified nurse’s aide, said the woman had a “childlike spirit. She insisted we dress her up for Halloween,” Sister Van Leeuwen said. “She told me she was not afraid to die, but it was what she had to do to get there.” Afterward, Ms. Luke stressed the importance of the hospice’s work and the people — both paid and impaid — who dedicate themselves to it.

Denver Catholic Register — November 24, 1993 — Page 3 ‘It’s never too late to create them’ Advent a time for family traditions (Editor’s note: The first Sunday of Advent, the beginning of the new Church year, will be observed Nov. 28.) Advent is the time to use family traditions and rituals to focus on the spiritual side of Christmas, according to Linda Arnold, associate director of cam­ pus ministry at The Catholic University of America. If your family doesn’t have many traditions, it’s never too late to create them, said Arnold. “The rituals you adopt now will help in the foun­ dation you seek to build in your children’s religious lives. “In terms of preparing for Christmas, an Ad­ vent calendar works very well, especially with young children,” Arnold said. “The calendars can be purchased in stores, or the family can make them together. Reading Scrip­ ture verse and discussing them as each new window is opened helps teach children what Advent means.” A time of service Advent should be a time of service to others, Arnold advised. In addition to gathering food and clothing for families during the season, sign up to work at a soup kitchen, a senior citizens’ home or a shelter, she sug­ gested. ‘Take part in parish activities like the ‘giving tree,’ but take on family projects as well,” Arnold said. Make prayer a central part of Advent. Lighting candles on the Advent wreath should be a prayerful time. “It might be nice at dinner to pray a more ex­ tended evening prayer,” she said. Attend an Advent reconciliation service together. Many parishes offer services specifically oriented toward families. In Arnold’s family, the traditions culminate in a special Christmas Eve. Members share a light meal before attending midnight Mass, then return for hot chocolate and cookies and open their gifts at 3 a.m. “We limit the number of gifts to keep from get­ THE ADVENT WREATH sets the scene for prayer in the households of millions of Catholics during ting out of control,” she said. “And we always think Advent each year.
