Palliative Care Resources for Parishes

The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has a new resource called Horizons of Hope: A Toolkit for Catholic Parishes on Palliative Care.  The toolkit is in both English and French, no cost to use, and the toolkit is very user-friendly.   

This resource may be of interest to pastors and parishes who have pastoral ministries or those looking to create them and increase their education and knowledge around palliative care. If this is something you might be interested in and would like some assistance in setting up please contact Mary-Jo MacKinnon-Simms at [email protected]
