About this Event

This toolkit seeks to empower and educate parishioners and address questions surrounding palliative care, dying, death, suffering and bereavement in a holistic fashion. The content explores how palliative care is understood from a perspective of Catholic moral and pastoral theology, medical expertise, and the Compassionate Community model. We hope to facilitate meaningful conversations grounded in the mercy and tenderness of the living Christ. All the videos and materials are produced by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Join us for this interactive day of prayer, videos and discussion. This is an opportunity for caregivers, those who are sick, and family members to find support and help each other live well until our earthly life is over.

We will discuss:

1. Understanding the human experience of dying and death
2. Discerning and making decisions at the end of life
3. Accompanying those at the end of life
4. Supporting and integrating within the wider community.
