RESPECT LIFE QUOTE “Patients need to be able to trust their doctors to always care for their lives and never deliberately cause death… Patients facing serious illness may feel hopeless and depressed, as though their lives have lost meaning. Addressing psychological, emotional, and spiritual problems is essential to palliative care. Assisted suicide alleviates none of these problems, but gives in to them.” - USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, “Killing the Pain, Not the Patient: Palliative Care vs. Assisted Suicide

Catholic Charities Collection We are called by Pope Francis “to go the margins” and help our brothers and sisters. Every year, we are invited by Catholic Charities of the East Bay, to help those in need in our community. Your gift makes it possible for Catholic Charities to help people facing difficult circumstances move forward in life. This includes helping children who face pervasive violence at school, home, or on the streets; families or seniors facing homelessness; and people fleeing violence in their homelands. Please give generously to this appeal this weekend, May 18th and 19th. For more information, contact Stephan Pippen, Development Manager at spippen@cceb.org or (510) 508-1063.
