Choose Life One of the chief researchers in a landmark study on patients with severe brain injuries noted that these patients are diagnosed falsely “on a disturbingly regular basis.” With false diagnoses, fatal mistakes can be made as in the famous case of Terri Schiavo who was fatally deprived of food and water. Says bio-ethicist Wesley J. Smith, “What we did to Terri was a blight on the legal system and bioethics. Pretending otherwise won’t make that stain go away.” NRL News, Feb-Mar, 2010

 

Rite Of Christian Initiation Of AdultsThe R.C.I.A. will resume in the fall. If you know of anyone interested in the R.C.I.A., or for more information, please call the Rectory at 662-226-2490. This is primarily for people who are interested in the Catholic Faith. They will find these gatherings very enjoyable and interesting and the decision to embrace the Catholic Faith is always made by the person participating.
