We will discuss Advance Health Care Directives and making your wishes known. The time to make such decisions and to put them in writing is when one is healthy and of sound mind and able to discuss these matters thoroughly and calmly with one’s family and future agent(s). Our evening will help you to better understand the issues associated with end of life care and the church’s teaching.

How to Plan a Funeral

September 18, 2018

 

Join us as we discuss How to Plan a Funeral (either for yourself or a loved one). We will share resources, guidelines and directives. What options are available? What does the church teach about cremation? Can we sing “Danny Boy”? Making one’s wishes known regarding a funeral is as important as making one’s wishes known about health care. This evening will provide you with resources that you need.
