Horizons of Hope

HORIZONS of HOPE

Would you like to learn more about how our Faith in Christ helps us to understand the human experience of dying and death while journeying with our loved ones nearing the end of life? We invite you to join the four-part program, entitled “Horizons of Hope: A Toolkit for Catholic Parishes on Palliative Care”.  Beginning on November 21st we will host parishioners on four Thursday evenings from 7:00 until 9:00 PM to share and discuss the importance of palliative care. Learn more about how we can respond to our Christian call to provide compassionate care for our loved ones at the end of life. All are welcome! 

The program is designed for

• those seeking to learn more about palliative care and Catholic Church teaching on end-of-life;
• Caregivers;
• Persons who have recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness;
• Family members who need resources and guidance as they journey with a loved one who is seriously or terminally ill;
• and Parishioners and pastoral care teams who want to form a Compassionate Community program.

The topics covered will include:

• Understanding the human experience of dying and death
• Discerning and making decisions at the end of life
• Accompanying those at the end of life
• Supporting and integrating within the wider community
