Deanery 5: Social Justice Enrichment Series

Protecting Our Elders

When: Tuesday, March 15, 2011
Time: 7:00 PM
(program starts at 7:15 PM)
Place: St Martin of Tours Parish
Speakers: Lucy Asfour & Susan Lewis

Elder abuse is a serious problem in our area. As we age we become more vulnerable to economic predators and domestic violence to our elders. You are invited to learn more about elder abuse and neglect and what we can do as concerned Catholic Christians to alleviate this problem. Our third program of the 2011 series presents Susan Lewis and Lucie Alfour, of Interfaith Response to Elder Abuse and Neglect, who will enlighten us on the problem of Elder Abuse and the mission and services of Interfaith Response.

There will be a post-presentation question and answer period and a time for discussion of this problem in light of Catholic social teaching.
