as we care for the sick and comfort the dying.
Death of St. Joseph
Stain Glass Window, St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica, Halifax, NS
Deacon Larry Worthen of St. John XXIII Parish has been asked to present to the Parliamentary Committee on Assisted Death with Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto this Wednesday, February 3, 2016 in Ottawa. They have asked for our prayers.
They have these concerns: the protection of the vulnerable, conscience rights of healthcare workers and of healthcare facilities, and improved services for people with disabilities, mental illness and the elderly.
You can help. Visit www.MoralConvictions.ca to register your concerns with the decision makers about the importance of protecting conscience rights for health care workers. Some, like the Ontario regulators, are requiring doctors to refer for euthanasia, which we cannot do. The provincial and federal governments and the regulators need to take action to make sure that conscience rights are protected. They are more likely to act with your support. Thank you.
