        To further emphasize our high regard for you, our seasoned and sensational seniors, and to esteem you as seen and heard, valued and loved, we are changing the name of this printed newsletter from Senior Chatter to The Senior Sage.

        Sage refers to a person who is very wise. It can also refer to someone venerated for the possession of wisdom, judgment, and experience.

        Overall, Sage is used to describe someone who is wise, especially as a result of great experience, and we believe that is YOU. We hope you will continue sending in your articles to let us know what you are doing. Sharing your experiences is an inspiration!

        Submissions for upcoming editions are welcome from parish groups who would like to reach out to seniors throughout the Archdiocese of Galveston - Houston.  In addition to sharing what you have done, we encourage you to include information about upcoming events if they are open to seniors in our Catholic family and broader community.  If you have poetry or an inspirational piece you'd like to share, we welcome those also. There is no advertising and content will be finalized by the Office of Aging Ministry.
