Elderly people help us to see human affairs with greater wisdom, because life’s vicissitudes have brought them knowledge and maturity. They are the guardians of our collective memory, and thus the privileged interpreters of that body of ideals and common values which support and guide life in society. -Pope John Paul II, Letter to the Elderly (1999) Cover design by Debbie Skatell-Wehner

Area Social Services Compiled by Catholic Charities Catholic Charities is the primary social service agency of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, serving all, regardless of religious affiliation, in their time of greatest need. Since fall 2008, the agency has been receiving an unprecedented number of phone calls from individuals and families requesting help as a result of the weakening economy. Those who never thought they would be in a position to call are now faced with losing their jobs, their health insurance or their homes. We believe that parishes are facing similar increases in requests for need. While Catholic Charities offers a full spectrum of services to help in times like these, there are other collaborating partner agencies in each county of the diocese that are better suited to address specific problems such as housing and unemployment. Bishop David Zubik had asked that Catholic Charities compile a resource guide of services for priests and parishes that would be a helpful
4 Pittsburgh Catholic
reference in order to best meet the immediate needs of parishioners. This resource guide is not meant to be a comprehensive listing of all services and agencies available in your area. Rather, it is a listing of Catholic Charities’ offices and top referral agencies in each county, categorized by need. To hear about these resources in Spanish, call Catholic Charities Community Outreach coordinator Brian Wolford at 412-4566920. For a complete listing of all services and programs available through Catholic Charities, visit the website at www.ccpgh. org. For any services not listed in this resource guide, visit the United Way website at www.unitedwaypittsburgh. org, which allows you to search by service needed or agency name and includes information for all six counties of the diocese. Catholic Charities and other top referral agencies in this resource guide are listed by diocesan county — Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Greene, Lawrence and Washington.

Pope: Golden years can be fruitful LONDON (CNS) — Although he walks quickly and appears to have no serious medical problems, the 84-year-old Pope Benedict XVI said he knows what it’s like to get old and experience increasing physical frailty. Greeting a small gathering of his peers and elders in London last fall the pope said, “Our long years of life afford us the opportunity to appreciate both the beauty of God’s greatest gift to us — the gift of life — as well as the fragility of the human spirit.” In the midst of a four-day visit Pope Benedict visited St. Peter’ s Residence. “Those of us who live many years are given a marvelous chance to deepen our awareness of the mystery of Christ, who humbled himself to share in our humanity,” the pope told the residents. “As the normal span of our lives increases, our physical capacities are often diminished; and yet these times may well be among the most spiritually fruitful years of our lives,” the pope said. Pope Benedict also used his visit to St. Peter's as an opportunity to reaffirm church teaching about the value of human life at every stage of its development and to urge people to love and respect the elderly.

Pennsylvania Catholic Conference The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference is the public affairs arm of Pennsylvania’s Catholic bishops and the Catholic dioceses of Pennsylvania. There are 10 Catholic dioceses in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Eight are Latin-rite dioceses, fully contained within the commonwealth. Two are Byzantine-rite dioceses with apostolic sees in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference has set broad objectives and highlighted some particular issues of concern. The board of governors of the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, which meets annually, comprises the local ordinary bishops of Pennsylvania, that is, the ecclesiastical superiors of each Pennsylvania diocese. The function of the board, which is governed by its chairman,
Cardinal Justin Rigali, is to establish the principles of the conference and determine its policies. Each ordinary bishop appoints two members to the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference Administrative Board, one of whom is a priest and serves as a personal representative of the bishop to the conference. The Administrative Board, which is composed of both clergy and laity, meets three times a year to conduct the affairs of the conference by ratifying public policy positions within the guidelines set by the board of governors and offering guidance to the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference staff. The PCC is served by three departments, which also meet three times a year. The departments of
Elementary and Secondary Education and Social Concerns provide research and consultation to the Administrative Board and staff. The Communications Department helps to inform and educate the Catholic faithful and the general public about PCC and its issues. Each ordinary bishop appoints two people from his diocese to serve on each department. The Pennsylvania Catholic Health Association (PCHA) is an associate of the PCC. The conference invites interested parties to log on to www.pacatholic.org. The conference mailing address is: Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, 223 North Street, PO Box 2835, Harrisburg, PA 17105. Its telephone number is 717238-9613, FAX: 717-238-1473. Inquiries can be made at info@pacatholic.org

The Catholic Funeral Plan™ The Safe, Secure, Sensible Choice for the Future
What is the Catholic Funeral Plan™?
It is a faith-based planning alternative for Catholic families who wish to make the decisions about their funeral ahead of time. The plan assures that your decisions will be carried out in the manner you requested and in the Catholic tradition.
The Catholic Funeral Plan™ Difference.
Unlike other plans, you maintain control of your money and know where it is until it is needed for your funeral. You choose the funeral home. Payment is made only when the funeral is delivered. The choices you make today can be changed at any time without penalty or obligation. Before you pay for your funeral, find out more about the advantages of the Catholic Funeral Plan™.
For more information about the advantages of the Catholic Funeral Plan™ and a free copy of “Questions You Should Ask Before Planning A Funeral”

PLANNING AHEAD - A CATHOLIC TRADITION Catholics believe that our life on earth is temporary and we live our lives in preparation for our permanent home in heaven. A part of being prepared is to arrange for our funeral and burial in the Catholic tradition. Planning in advance for cemetery property and our funeral is one of the most thoughtful expressions of love and concern that you can show your family for this eventual need. Take some time to gather the information and learn how simple and easy it is to remove this burden on your family. Our trained counseling staff can guide you through this process.

The web address is www.irs.gov Live Telephone Assistance When calling, you may ask questions to help you prepare your tax return, or ask about a notice you have received. Toll-Free, 1-800-829-1040 Hours of Operation: Monday - Friday, 7 a.m. - 10 p.m. Taxpayer Assistance Centers IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers are your source for personal tax help when you believe your tax issue cannot be handled online or by phone, and you want face-toface tax assistance. If you need to resolve a tax problem, have questions about how the tax law applies to your individual tax return, or you’re more comfortable talking with someone face-toface, visit your local Taxpayer Assistance Center where you can spread out your records and talk with an IRS representative across the counter. No appointment is necessary — just walk in. Taxpayer Assistance Centers are closed for all federal holidays. In the metropolitan Pittsburgh area, TAC’s are located in Butler, Monroeville, Downtown Pittsburgh, Warrendale, and Washington, Pa. For specific addresses and hours, please call 1-800-829-1040. Free tax return preparation for you by volunteers The IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program and the Tax Counseling for the Elderly Programs offer free tax help for taxpayers who qualify (generally, during the tax filing season — Jan. 15 through April 15.)

income tax credit, child tax credit, and credit for the elderly or the disabled. In addition to free tax return preparation assistance, most sites also offer free electronic filing (e-filing). Individuals taking advantage of the e-file program will receive their refunds in half the time compared to returns filed on paper — even faster when tax refunds are deposited directly into one’s bank account.

cannot prepare their own tax returns. Certified volunteers sponsored by various organizations receive training to help prepare basic tax returns in communities across the country.

List from page 26 The Tax Counseling for the Elderly Program provides free tax help to people 60 and older. Trained volunteers from non-profit organizations provide free tax counseling and basic income tax return preparation for senior citizens. Volunteers who provide tax counseling are often retired individuals associated with non-profit organizations that receive grants from the IRS. As part of the IRS-sponsored TCE Program, AARP offers the Tax-Aide counseling program at more than 7,000 sites nationwide during the filing season. Trained and certified AARP TaxAide volunteer counselors help people of low-to-middle income with special attention to those 60 and older. For more information on TCE, call 1-800-829-1040.

Signs and warnings of elder abuse Elder abuse and crimes targeting older people are a real issue that come in many forms, including neglect, physical, financial and sexual abuse. Learn how to stay safe and report suspected abusers. The statewide elder abuse hotline is 1-800-490-8505. Any person who believes that an older adult is being abused, neglected, exploited or abandoned may call the elder abuse hotline. The hotline is open 24 hours a day. If you have concerns about the quality of care an older person is receiving from a facility or a caregiver, call your local Area Agency on Aging for guidance. Signs of elder abuse Although these signs do not always mean elder abuse, it is important to be aware that elder abuse can occur at any-
time to anyone: • Bruises or broken bones. • Weight loss. • Dementia may be blamed on “old age” when the real cause is malnutrition, drug interactions or side effects. • The older person never goes outside or never sees visitors. • Withdrawing large sums of money from a savings account without apparent reason. • Signing over his or her home to a relative. Identity theft Protect the elderly against identity theft and visit the Identity Theft Action Plan website (www.identitytheftactionplan.com) sponsored by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.

Guide to Senior Services | 2011
“If the Eyes are the window to the Soul, then surely the Ears are the doorway to the Heart!”
“When someone in the family has a hearing loss, the entire family has a hearing problem.”
People with hearing loss are not the only ones who suffer. A number of studies have shown that the partner or family member experiences frustration, stress and anger at having to deal with their loved one’s hearing problems. If you have been reluctant to seek help, then this year, do it for the ones you love.
