Catholic Social Services Senior Centers and the Archdiocesan Senior Citizen Council will host "Celebrate Senior Life" at three Philadelphia locations during May. All seniors are welcome to attend.

All programs begin with Mass or an Ecumenical Prayer Service and will offer a festive lunch, free gifts, games and door prizes. Admission is $2 and reservations are required.

Catholic Social Services sponsors five senior centers in Philadelphia which offer a range of activities, parties, trips, classes and daily lunch to support community elders in 'vital aging.' "The people whom we serve and celebrate with these special programs enjoy the possibilities of life in the 21st Century," said Paula Harvey, Program Coordinator of the Archdiocesan Senior Citizen Council. The council is the governing board for a network of independent senior clubs in the five-county area.

Catholic Social Services exists to transform lives and bring about a just and compassionate society where every individual is valued, families are healthy and strong, and communities are united in their commitment to the good of all.
