The Dignity of Life November 20, 7:45 pm, Tranquille Hall
Even with the many advances in medicine, death remains an inevitable reality. Rather than see it as the great enemy, our Catholic faith sees it as an important journey. Indeed, our faith in Jesus Christ has much to teach us about living well until the end of life. We will reflect on how our Catholic faith changes our perspective on both palliative care and medical assistance in dying.
