16th Annual 3rd Age Day Celebration
Inspired Retired Serving

The Third Age Ministry is composed of parish groups of Third Age individuals, age 50 and up, united for the purpose of promoting their welfare through fellowship, coordination and group representation in their issues and concerns.

Third Age Day Celebration is sponsored by the Office of Parish Social Ministry of Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas, which is partially funded through the Bishop's Faith Appeal.


Louise and Charles May, parishoners of St. Mark the Evangelist,
Silsbee, were recognized for their 16 years of service
on the Third Age Task Force Committee.

Guest speaker Malcolm Clark says that humor isn't everything,
but it sure helps. He helped out by sharing quite a few
Cajun jokes that were crowd pleasers.
