Twelve Hours of Prayer for Palliative Care May 11th
“Palliative Care is an expression of the truly human attitude of taking care of one another, especially of those who suffer. It is a testimony that the human person is always precious, even if marked by illness and old age.” Pope Francis
As Canada becomes increasingly secular, spiritual values are often overshadowed by societal tendencies toward comfort, instant gratification and aversion to suffering. Yet, our Catholic faith challenges us to emphasize respect for life in all its vulnerabilities from the moment of conception until natural death. There is a great need for prayer and a strong emphasis on palliative/hospice care when faced with end-of-life decisions. All are invited to pray and meditate in the Nave for improved palliative/hospice care on May 11th from 9am-9pm. The Catholic Women’s League will lead prayers, rosaries, and meditations. Drop in whenever it is convenient. Stay for thirty minutes or three hours…. All are welcome. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
Location: St. Albert the Great Parish, 10 Prestwick Dr. SE, T2Z 4J6
Parking: Accessed at the back of the parish, toward the East side.
