Greetings,

Please join us on June 27, 2011 for the END-OF-LIFE DECISION FORUM and Mass at 11:45 AM presided by Bishop Murphy at the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception. You can view the invitation, the agenda and RSVP NOW HERE for "Now and at the Hour of Our Death", a Catholic Guide to End-of-Life-Decision-Making. When making decisions about healthcare and treatments for ourselves and loved ones, we also consider making them according to the teachings our Catholic faith. Many factors come into play in making these decisions and sorting through them can be challenging and stressful.

The presentation given by Kathleen Gallagher of the NY State Catholic Conference, and Rev.Charles Caccavale Professor of Moral Theology, will provide a thorough study of the guide and will address the Health Care Proxy and legal options in New York State. The presentation will also explain DNR, Do Not Resuscitate Orders and

Diocesan Respect Life Contest 2011 1st Prize Winner - Poetry Level II

by Stephen Ello

The measure of love, is to love without measure.

All stages of life, Need love's silent treasure.

when we live life self-centered, love's measure will fall,

when we reach out in love, the measure grows tall.

Love's best to give, good to receive, look around when love's missing, so you can perceive:

The unborn, the children, the elderly too, "love one another, as I have loved you".

The disabled, the struggling, the sick and the blind: All "love is patient"; all "love is kind".

If all love is kind, then be kind to your brothers. Love's always tested-hard to get and to give, So the measure of love reflects how we live.

If you've been touched with love, you have obligations,

To love without measure...without hesitations.
