Holy Cross Students Join Worcester Nursing Home Residents in Unique Storytelling Project

Students from the College of the Holy Cross meet with St. Mary residents. During their visits, the students and patients formed small groups, in which a random photo is shown and a story is created from it.

Silence fell on the fifth floor of St. Mary Health Care Center in Worcester earlier this year. Kit Meszaros ’24 sat through similar stillness three previous weeks, as the room full of residents with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease waited for a man to participate in a weekly exercise.
