In the 2016 Easter season, Archbishop Smith of the Archdiocese of Edmonton (and native of Nova Scotia) will be hosting a series of presentations on the subject of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. Five sessions will be held at five different parishes in the Edmonton area. Each dealing with a different aspect of this important topic. They will include prayer, personal witness, teaching from the Archbishop, and time for questions and answers.
Come, learn about this tragic situation and its consequences, about what our faith teaches, and about what we can do in response. All sessions will also be livestreamed on the Internet and rebroadcast on Salt+Light TV.
