The Catholic Women’s League of Canada embraces the belief that every person, created in God’s image and likeness, deserves respect from the moment of conception until natural death. Members have strongly indicated a great need for prayer and a stronger emphasis on palliative/hospice care. Palliative/hospice care needs to be seen as the sole answer when faced with end-of-life decisions. Please take the time to review the information in this year’s “12 Hours of Prayer for Palliative Care” Kit. It contains a message of support from National President Shari Guinta, prayers, information, resources and links to encourage and help you to pray alone, with others, to pray for one hour, for 12 hours, or to pray unceasingly for greater advocacy for palliative/hospice care.
