From the The Catholic Spirit Online Edition comes this compassionate and informative two-part article series on “Understanding Alzheimer’s” and “Communication with Alzheimer’s.”

Sister Rosemary Goulet, a member of the Servants, Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, led a seminar about dementia and Alzheimer’s disease Aug. 20 at the St. John Neumann Pastoral Center, outlining the signs and symptoms and providing practical information about its progression.

Sponsored by the Office of Family Life, the seminar drew attendees concerned about a family member or friend who may be experiencing signs of dementia as well as those whose loved ones have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
