What the Church Teaches About End of Life Issues

The Catholic Church teaches that all life, from conception to natural death, is sacred. However, modern medical advances have made end of life issues increasingly difficult to sort out. What is the difference between letting a person die and practicing euthanasia? Can Catholics have "living wills?" How much treatment must be provided to the sick and dying? We have provided pamphlets at both exits of church for an overview of these and other important moral issues surrounding life and death.

Understanding the Catholic Declaration on Life and Death

This pamphlet is available to you at both entrances of the church or you may view it by clicking here. This material is provided to keep us better informed about Living Wills, Designation of Health Care Surrogate, and Circumstances Requiring Special Attention just to mention a few topics addressed.
