    Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, 13 Brower Drive, Sherwood Park

    Those who promote euthanasia call it “dying with dignity.” Does that mean those who die naturally die without dignity? What is human dignity, anyway, and where does it come from? How does our Catholic faith offer real hope and true dignity to those who are suffering and dying? Join this important conversation hosted by OLPH Compassionate Parish and Young Adults.

  • Is Life Always Worth Living? Responding to the Rise of “MAID” in our Society

    Presenter: Amanda Achtman 6:15 pm Mass celebrated by Archbishop Stephen Hero 7:00 pm Presentation Many people think that there are circumstances under which it is reasonable for someone to ask someone else to end their life. In the jurisdictions where euthanasia is legal, there has tended to be an increase in the number of people opting for it. Some of the reasons listed in government reports are due to cancer, chronic illness, or disability. Does life lose its sense in the face of suffering? Or, is life always worth living? Come get inspired to encounter, understand, and overcome the euthanasia temptation. Filled with stories, this talk will equip you to better engage in these conversations and experiences in your own life because this concerns all of us. No cost. No registration required. Everyone welcome! April 21, 7-9 pm Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish 13 Brower Drive, Sherwood Park
