What will June 6 (2016) mean for Canadian Catholics?

In light of the fact that physician assisted death may come into effect in Canada on June 6th, 2016, the Archdiocesan committee on the Ministry For Care and Companionship has prepared a brief questions and answer document explaining physician assisted suicide and our Catholic teaching on this matter. This very grave matter affects all Canadians. Catholic Canadians in particular are being asked to be fully informed on what our faith says about the sanctity of life – from conception to natural death. All are invited to share this document widely. It can be found on the archdiocesan website by clicking here.
