Dying with Christ, Living with Hope
As parents, grandparents, neighbours, and parishioners age, many of us find ourselves asking hard questions. What kinds of support and advocacy are needed? How do we respond well? What role do families and faith communities play?
On February 4 the Permanent Council of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) issued a statement strongly supporting Private Member’s Bill C-218, which seeks to prevent persons whose sole medical condition is mental illness from accessing euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (“MAiD”).
During the first week of February, many dioceses across Canada recognize the National Catholic Health Care Week. While Nova Scotia does not have specific Catholic healthcare facilities we do have many Catholic physicians, nurses, and many other healthcare provides. Let us remember them and the important work they do.
Dying with Christ – Living with Hope is a hope-filled program that speaks to one of the most universal human experiences. Led by theologians and healthcare professionals, this series offers meaningful insight into suffering, grief, dying, the duty to care, and how we can enter more deeply into the Christian hope of dying with Christ.
