Health & Wellness Series
“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and all may go well with you.” (3 John, 1:2)
Celebrating the glory of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and believing for a life of good health, in body and mind, we are excited to bring a Health and Wellness series to St. Hugh of Lincoln.
“Behold I will bring to it health and healing and will heal them and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth.” (Jeremiah 33:6)
​
These events are possible due to the volunteer generosity of our health professionals willing to share their knowledge and educate our St. Hugh community on health and wellness, ultimately for our own longevity.
