The Gift of Life

The ERCFP Lecture series on the Catholic response to Maid and Euthanasia, Assisted Suicide

Saturday, November 4th

12:30 -4:15 p.m.

As Catholics, we are a people of hope and understanding.

Our Mission ~Jesus said, “Go make disciples … I am with you always.”
Our Vision ~Strengthened by the Eucharist, we are moved to bring healing to a wounded world.

We do indeed live in a wounded world. And yet, together, we can bring hope and healing as we learn about the Church’s teaching on suffering and Her position on euthanasia and assisted suicide, otherwise referred to as MAID.

Mark your calendar now and save the date for this life affirming event. We will explore the history of MAID; our beliefs and end of life supports available through Compassionate Community Care and Hospice/Palliative Care.

Watch the bulletin in the coming weeks for links and resources geared to help increase our understanding of the sanctity of life and strengthen our Catholic faith.

The Creation of Man

Genesis 1 26: Then God said; ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground’.

Genesis 2 7: The Lord God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being.

Does God proclaim Himself in the wonders of creation? No. All things proclaim Him, all things speak. Their beauty is the voice by which they announce God, by which they sing, "It is you who made me beautiful, not me myself but you .” St Augustine
