The mission of Carondelet Village is to enrich the lives of older adults through a faith-based setting that respects diversity of faith and culture and honors the dignity of all. Along with sharing this ministry, the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet and Presbyterian Homes and Services also share the vision of volunteerism and how important it is in this community.
Carondelet Village has many different ways to get involved and to support the facility through volunteering. Everyone who volunteers here is important to our main goal of serving the residents. Volunteers complete a variety of tasks from helping supplement staff service – to doing the little “extras” and spending valuable time with the residents.
