Information and Education

In the parochial setting, the ministry should be focused on encouraging education of the parish and community on life issues by distributing literature, organizing activities, finding approved speakers to give talks on pro-life issues. These activities should be coordinated in collaboration with parish coordinators of faith formation. For more information go to our Pro-Life Manual.

The USCCB has produced two new videos that are now available to assist our efforts in opposing assisted suicide. Both were produced to resonate particularly in the Latino community. New one-pagers that address some common misperceptions about assisted suicide can be found here:
• Physician Assiste Suicide: Not Just About Autonomy
• Physician Assited Suicide: Does Not Improve End-of-Life Care
• Physician Assited Suicide: Not Just About Dying Patients
• Physician Assisted Suicide: Promotes Suicide
