Life Planning

On an annual basis the Office for Evangelization provides Life-Planning seminars to help anyone who would like to learn more about a number of issues that may come as one nears the end of life and considers long-term care.  Some of the topics that are addressed include:

  • caring for an aging parent or spouse
  • considering assisted living, hospice, or in-home care
  • planning for a Catholic funeral or work with funeral homes and cemeteries
  • Advance Medical Directives and health care proxies
  • the moral teaching of the Church surrounding the end-of-life
  • ordinary versus extraordinary means of care
  • estate planning

These seminars are a collaborative effort between the Office for Evangelization and many other Diocesan groups.
