All who are associated with Christopher Homes, Inc. have the right to respect, dignity and a sense of well being. Therefore, through the service and commitment of our staff and volunteers, we will enable our residents to grow spiritually, socially, and intellectually, empowering them to develop their optimal potential. Christopher Homes is a senior living ministry of the Archdiocese of New Orleans. KEEPING YOUR HEART HEALTHY Health habits brought to you by February is American Heart Month. You can celebrate by improving your heart health with a few simple changes. Staying active is key to keeping your heart strong. Exercises like walking, chair aerobics or dancing are great ways to get active. A good goal is to get 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. Start slowly and build up to the activity level your doctor says is right for you. You can ask family and friends to join you and track your progress in an activity journal. If you don’t have time for 30 minutes of activity, try breaking it up into 10- or 15-minute segments. Eating a heart-healthy diet is also important. This includes: ♥ Fruits and vegetables ♥ Whole grain breads ♥ Canned goods with no added salt or sugar ♥ Poultry or tuna packed in water, not oil ♥ Lean meats, such as rump roast or pork loin ♥ Fat-free or 1-percent milk or milk products Another way to “love your heart” is to manage high blood pressure and cholesterol. Talk with your doctor about your health goals and any medications you take for these conditions. So show your heart some love—educate yourself and your loved ones about how to keep your heart healthy. To follow the Health Habits blog online head to www.christopherhomes.org. You’ll find this article as well as previous health-related articles.

MARDI GRAS 2019 VALENTINE’S DAY Mardi Gras is March 5th. February 14th is Valentine’s Day Several properties are planning to have functions We wish everyone a happy St. Valentine’s Day related to carnival festivities. Look on Christopher Homes social media posts for pictures from those events. 5 ST. MARTIN MANOR’S CHOIR On One Accord Bringing people together through the gift of song, that was the vision of Lynn Johnson, resident coordinator at St. Martin’s Manor. “This choir can be a support system,” Lynn says. She wanted to form the choir, so she put her vision in the trusted hands of one of her residents. That’s where Ms. Albertina Rhyans stepped in. At a quick pace, Ms. Albertina set out to recruit her songbirds. Her goal was to have a choir ready in time to perform for the holidays. “I got about 22 people to sign up, but just 8 followed through,” says Ms. Albertina. But in those 8 voices she received so much more than just a chorus. She formed a fellowship with her neighbors. The group is made up of people from different denominations of faith. They all came to Christopher Homes and St. Martin’s Manor for different reasons, but they all came together to form this choir for one reason. They want to “open the avenues of the heart” for their listeners. Many of those in the choir also echoed the sentiments of keeping God centered in your life. Mr. Theodore Dubuclet, the only man in the group, has a specific talent that is important to the choir. He can play the Alto Saxophone. As a young man he played in Carnival parades as part of the band. “You had pride in your performance,” said Mr. Theodore talking about his time back in school. Many of those, like Mr. Theodore, started their love for music at a young age. Many sing in choirs outside of this one. They are part of their churches and communities and wanted to bring that to their home at St. Martin’s Manor. Ms. Gwendolyn Wright says, “Music is my life. I sing in different community choirs.” Some like Ms. Lillie Cheri sing in choirs at their church. Among a few others, Ms. Lillie sings in the St. Peter Claver Chorus. She was resident of Christopher Homes back in 1999, but Hurricane Katrina forced her all the way to California. She returned in 2008 to St. Martin’s Manor and has lived at the facility ever since. Many know her as a songbird, and know she loves to sing. “It touches their heart and soul,” says Ms. Lillie. So it is here at St. Martin’s Manor in the heart of the Treme neighborhood, where so many great musicians were born, a chorus is formed. A chorus of those who not only want to sing, but who want to be part of something bigger. They want to inspire others toward fellowship. “Our lives reflect us. What we put into it we get out of it.” Those are the words of Ms. Albertina. As for the future of the chorus, they want to grow and possibly incorporate other Christopher Homes properties in a larger chorus. They want to travel to all of the 16 sites and show their love of song, because they say it’s there that we can touch people in a way that is infection. 6 PARADE SCHEDULE SUNDAY February 17 2019 SUNDAY February 24 2019 SATURDAY March 2 2019 Metairie French Quarter Metairie Krewe of Little Rascals 12:00 pm Krewe of Barkus 2:00 pm Krewe of Isis 6:30 pm Slidell Metairie Uptown New Orleans Krewe of Slidellians 1:00 pm Krewe of Kings 5:30 pm Krewe of Iris 11:00 am Krewe of Perseus follows Uptown New Orleans Krewe of Tucks 11:00 am The Mystic Krewe of Femme Fatale 11:00 am Westbank FRIDAY February 22 2019 Krewe of Carrollton follows Krewe of NOMTOC 10:45 am French Quarter Krewe of King Arthur follows Mid-City Krewe of Cork 3:00 pm Krewe of Alla follows Krewe of Endymion 4:15 pm Metairie Slidell Bush Krewe of Excalibur 7:30 pm Krewe of Dionysus follows Krewe of Bush 9:00 am Uptown New Orleans Krewe of Oshun 6:00 pm WEDNESDAY February 27 2019 SUNDAY March 3 2019 Krewe of Cleopatra 6:30 pm Uptown New Orleans Metairie Mandeville Krewe of Druids 6:30 pm Krewe of Athena 5:30 pm Krewe of Eve 7:00
