Circle-of-Life Seminars
Being Prepared Ensures Your Final Wishes Are Followed
Conversations about illness, death and dying are never easy.
Whether death comes suddenly or after prolonged illness, most of us are not comfortable discussing our medical wishes or circle-of-life plans with our loved ones. However, being prepared ensures that your final wishes are followed and decisions don’t have to be made on the fly which offers peace of mind.
It’s important for you and your loved ones to understand the Church’s teachings on circle-of-life decisions.
