Talk: Demystifying Death With Dignity

In the Catholic faith, death is the end of earthly life but not of existence.  Dying is a part of life, but how do we face the end of our natural life while respecting true dignity, the dignity of a child of God?

Sadly, many have lost a sense of a Catholic approach to death and dying, turning away from natural death surrounded by loved ones and the sacraments. Instead, they have accepted a death-averse culture where we hide the sick and dying away from view, while simultaneously enacting laws that allow physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Dying well is an art, a spiritual preparation that culminates in the trusting surrender to God. Join Father Shenan Boquet, for an insightful and practical presentation exploring how we can accompany those approaching the end-of-life with authentic compassion, courage, and hope. Learn how to navigate difficult end-of-life decisions while respecting the dignity of every human person, providing appropriate care, attending to spiritual needs, and helping loved ones prepare well for death.

Come away better equipped to support those you love and to understand what true death with dignity really means.
