Before a room full of people at the end-of-spring program for the People Program at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Algiers, Shirley Judge and Veronica Tuazon weren’t bashful at all as they performed the hula.

Sharing talents intellectually and creatively is what teachers and students ages 50 and older do every semester through the People Program, a ministry of the Congregation of St. Joseph established 40 years ago. Classes are now offered at two sites – the main campus at 2240 Lakeshore Drive in New Orleans, and the 10-year-old site in Algiers, Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 6201 Stratford Place.
