Caring at End-of-Life

"The request which arises from the human heart in the supreme confrontation with suffering and death, especially when faced with the temptation to give up in utter desperation, is above all a request for companionship, sympathy, and support in the time of trial." EV 67

Physician assisted suicide and euthanasia represent present day threats to human life at one of its weakest, most vulnerable moments.

Through ongoing educational and pastoral initiatives, the Pro-Life Office assists in providing information, and referrals for services to those living with a life threatening illness.

Working with health care professionals, respect life committees, and pastoral ministers, the Pro-Life Office promotes the "way of love and true mercy", transforming our parishes into communities of comfort and hope for the dying and their families.
