In Support of Life is a strategic plan adopted by the Bishops of Massachusetts to promote formation, education, policies and services that ensure compassionate and competent care of the dying. Parishes or clusters are urged to schedule one or more of the programs offered in this brochure to provide parishioners with an opportunity to reflect upon critical issues related to the end of life. Please contact the sponsoring agencies for further information and available dates.
Outlines are available for all the presentations.
The reality of suffering and death in our life and in that of a loved one can leave us feeling hopeless, fearful, anxious and alone. Faith, however, can offer hope, confidence, peace and companionship in the process of passage into eternal life. This time of prayerful reflection will invite participants to look at the nature and place of death in their spiritual journey. It will focus on the hope gained from living the Chrisitain life while facing the reality of suffering. For all adult parishioners.
