Dying with Christ, Living with Hope
The Christian Medical and Dental Association Canada will host a spring series of their Dying with Christ - Living with Hope session. This program presents a hope-filled perspective on a universal experience. Led by theologians and healthcare professionals, the series explores timeless insights into suffering, grief, dying, the duty to care, and how dying with Christ is attainable for everyone.
The Canadian Federation of Catholic Physicians’ Societies is encouraging Catholics to complete a survey on the expansion of Euthanasia/MAiD. The federal government is pushing to expand euthanasia (MAiD) to include advance requests, meaning a patient could be euthanized without providing consent at the time of the procedure. This raises serious ethical concerns, yet the government has quietly launched a national consultation on the issue.
This week we hold in prayer and pay particular attention to Catholic heath care facilities and the many Catholic healthcare workers. We want to recognize that their faith impacts the work they do. The Catholic Health Alliance of Canada has produced resources for individuals, groups, and parishes to highlight this national week.
