Revered by some cultures and pushed aside and forgotten by others, elders are more and more in our midst. This webinar series will open a conversation starting from the newest Vatican document, Old Age: Our Future – The elderly after pandemic, and stretch thinking on possibilities for how Catholic and fellow faith-based ministries as well as others must partner and innovate to meet the critical needs of the growing population of elders and the impact on them from the pandemic.
This webinar, the second in a series of four on the Vatican document, Old Age — Our Future, will address the current crisis for elders created by the pandemic and the improved longevity of elders. Medical and experiential field experts will speak to the sociological and spiritual dimensions of the pandemic on this population and the event will also include voices of some elderly people either from home or from nursing homes who will share their personal journeys through a pandemic.
