THE CONVERSATION
Give the Gift of Planning to Your Family
Few people feel comfortable with discussions of death or illness, but talking with family members about your wishes for the end-of-life issues that will arise and developing your plans in advance can provide peace of mind and prevent undue burden on your loved ones.
The Conversation: A Catholic Perspective on End-of-Life Issues is a seminar designed to provide you with the tools you need to give the gift of planning to your family.
This free seminar is for people of all ages and life situations: singles, parents of young children, those caring for aging parents and those facing illness or death. The Conversation offers you the chance to learn and ask questions about Church teaching in the areas Catholics need to consider.
“The program is well organized and easy to follow. It has created an awareness for me on these complicated subjects. I will recommend this program to my family and friends.”
