Last month CALC assessed and assisted a family following a fire. A single mother with six children lost their home and all their belongings in a fire — a house into which they had just moved. Among many things, the family desperately needed furniture, which CALC donated. A member of ECRC and a Chaldean senior at the rosary-making event A HAPPY EASTER St. Anthony’s Nursing Home was the site of an Easter Dinner on March 19. About 20 residents enjoyed food supplied by the CALC. A big hit was the serving of special bread traditionally baked for Palm Sunday, which brought back a lot of memories for the seniors. CALC volunteers Margaret Butti, Clair Garmo and Regina Konja served a wonderful dinner to the residents. SENIORS TAKE A FIELD TRIP CALC hosted 50 seniors on a field trip to the Fr. Solanus Casey Center in Detroit. They attended the healing mass held on Wednesdays at 2 p.m. During mass, the priest recognized the Chaldean seniors for their attendance. Following mass, the seniors had a delicious lunch at Fuddruckers in Detroit. Owners of the restaurant, Tom and Sam Kyriakoza, were extremely hospitable to our seniors that day. CALC also thanks all the volunteers for helping escort the event. Contact and Join CALC!

Children and their parents meet once a week for 11 weeks. We encourage Chaldean families to attend this highly effective program. There is no charge for attendance. Each session will address a different topic, including communication techniques, developing self esteem, knowing who your friends are, preventing substance abuse and teaching parents and children the importance of family values and culture. Sessions will include parent-youth discussions as well as family activities, refreshments and gifts. Tutoring will also be offered to the families who participate in the program.
