Sunday, April 19th.

2:00pm – 4:00pm

This discussion encompasses the financial, legal, and advanced planning, as well as medical/ethical issues, redemptive suffering, and spiritual care that comes with end-of-life navigation. Father Matthew McMorrow will introduce our guest speakers, Dr. Errol Baptist and Michael Cyrs. They are experts on various fields including surgery, medicine, marketing, and financial planning.

Most people often don’t like to think about what happens as they near the end of their lives. With this seminar, we hope to provide some reassurance and guidance as well as faith. Knowing how to settle our earthly affairs can transform our final days past fear and open a door to feelings of peace and readiness. This is sure to be an informative and thought-provoking discussion.
