Horizons of Hope

Horizons of Hope is a program developed by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops to help in making informed decisions about end-of-life issues. In response to the increasing promotion of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) and recent efforts to broaden its eligibility, the Archdiocese has requested all parishes to implement this program. As Catholics, it is vital for us to understand the Gospel of Life and the Church’s teachings on this important topic, so we can better support our loved ones and those in our faith community.

Horizons of Hope is a free program and includes 4 workshops, each approximately 2 hours long.

This program will help parishioners in the following areas:

• Understanding the Experience of Death and Dying
• Discerning and Decision-making at the End-of-Life
• Accompanying others at the End-of-Life

It does so through discussions led by a facilitator, as well as participation in small and large group sessions, use of videos, questions for private reflection and multiple suggestions for growth in understanding the issues relating to the end of life.

This program will take place at St. Mark's Church in the parish hall on November 7, 14, 21, and 28 at 7:30 pm.
