A conference on an important set of issues coming up next month at the Cathedral.

Converging Roads is coming to the Event Center at St. Mary's Cathedral on November 17, 2018 starting at 8:30 AM, and we will be talking about The Heart of End of Life Care: Catholic Social Doctrine. Because the people in your groups are directly and intimately involved with those at the end of their lives, the presentation at the conference may be of interest to them, and we hope that many of them will be able to attend. Continuing education credits will be offered for chaplains, physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and nurse practitioners. The White Mass, celebrating health care professionals, will conclude the conference, and all are welcome to attend.

To register for the conference and/or RSVP for the White Mass, please visit our website: https://forlifeandfamily.org/events/cr18-sfca/
