| We regularly receive calls from people asking where they can hear a presentation on Doctor-Prescribed Suicide and the ballot question. As you know, many presentations have been given, but, as you can see, there are still many opportunities to be informed and to inform your neighbors. I am sure there are some we don't have listed. Please let me know and we will post.

Boston Archdiocese: Physician Assisted Suicide Announcements The so-called "Death with Dignity Act," if passed this November, will legalize physician-assisted suicide in Massachusetts. Do you know about this law? Do you know how it will affect medical care in Massachusetts? Do you know how it will affect the sick and dying in your community? Medical, legal and ethical professionals will explain how you can oppose physician-assisted suicide.

There will be guest homilists, prayers for the dying, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The novena is also a spiritual response to the prospect of doctor-prescribed suicide in Massachusetts. Please consider coming and bringing your friends! The names of those who are terminally ill can be submitted in advance by calling 508-754-5361 or by email to Monsignor Sullivan at tsullivan5@mac.com.

We'll have more information. |
