TOPIC: Death & Dying – A Catholic Perspective
End of life decisions can present emotional, medical and religious questions and dilemmas for the dying patient and their family. As advancements in medical science can prolong life, many questions arise regarding the Church’s position and guidance on ordinary and extraordinary means, hydration, pain relief and palliative care. Bring your questions and be prepared to learn.
