Sr. Nuala Kenny was recently warded first place in the pastoral ministry category of the 2018 Catholic Press Association (CPA) Awards for her book: Rediscovering the Art of Dying: How Jesus’ Experience and Our Stories Reveal A New Vision of Compassionate Care. The award was announced at CPA’s annual conference June 15.
One judge commented: This is a superb exploration on a very critical topic in the lives of believers today: The experience of dying. The author confronts the modern attempts to camouflage the reality of death with political and medial interventions and challenges the current ideology with her compassion as a physician and the Church’s theology of the Paschal Mystery. Her insights are rooted in real life experiences that any reader can relate to and learn from.
Rediscovering the Art of Dying is published by Novalis Publications and is available for order online at: www.novalis.ca or by clicking here. Locally the book is also available at Veritas Catholic Books and Gifts.
Congratulations Sr. Nuala!
