Living the Longest Day: Faith, Dementia & Caregiving Hope

Welcome to this Peace in the Storm Project webinar recorded on June 19, 2025 — the longest day of the year. Founder & Executive Director Maureen Pratt is joined by gerontologist Matthew Estrade (founder of Catholic Aging) for a practical, faith-centered conversation about walking with a loved one through dementia and Alzheimer’s—and finding real peace, support, and strength in the middle of it. In this webinar, you’ll learn: The difference between dementia vs. Alzheimer’s (and why it’s easy to confuse the two) Early signs to watch for and why some changes don’t show up “over the phone” Why getting medical support sooner matters, and how to start that conversation The emotional reality of caregiving, including ambiguous loss How faith, prayer, and community can support caregivers and families Practical ways parishes and ministry teams can better welcome and support those affected About the guest: Matthew Estrade is a gerontologist and the founder of Catholic Aging, a resource hub helping families approach aging, memory loss, and caregiving through a Catholic lens. He’s also the author of The Peace with Dementia Rosary (Education, Intentions, Community) and consults with caregiving families through MyCatholicDoctor.com. 🙏 If you’re a caregiver, family member, friend, parish leader, or ministry volunteer: you are not alone. This conversation is here to help you feel steadier, better equipped, and supported—heart, mind, and soul.
