The Dementia Awareness Series scheduled for April-June, 2020, is cancelled.  We hope to re-schedule this important series once the COVID-19 crisis is past.

In partnership with the Alzheimer's Association, St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic Church is sponsring a dementia awareness program and EXPO to give individuals and their familes reliable information about Alzheimer's and other dementias, caregiving skills, and where to get information and help from multiple sources.  With its emphasis on Alzheimer's as a disease, not a personal failing, the program also seeks to dispel its social stigma.

All talks are over eight consecutive Fridays, from April 17 to June 5, 2020, and are from 10:00am-11:30am.
