St. Martin's Episcopal Church
The Gathering is dedicated to using its resources and time to support Church members and others in our community who are experiencing memory loss. This program offers a safe and nurturing environment filled with creative and stimulating activities for care partners, giving their caregivers a much-needed break from daily responsibilities. The Gathering is a program of CarePartners and is hosted by St. Martin’s.
