Rights of Older Persons

This unit on the rights of older persons features a quiz about older persons in the U.S. and worldwide and includes prayers and Catholic Social Teaching to reflect on the dignity of older persons, as well as discussion questions. A Catholic Social Teaching-based guide to doing service activities with older persons, and a fact sheet about the rights of older persons, based on United Nations documents, are provided.

This unit was revised in August 2006, using statistics from the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data.
