Living and Dying Well
Maggie Doherty, Director of the Centre for the Art of Living and Dying Well, will address the Catholic Union’s Annual General Meeting on 15 October at the London Jesuit Centre in London. Maggie will discuss whether learning about dying well and promoting death literacy across our networks can help you to live better.
Maggie Doherty, Director of the Centre for the Art of Living and Dying Well, St Mary’s University, says:
“Every one of us is dying – learning about dying well doesn’t just prepare us for the end – it teaches us how to truly live. Understanding mortality can reshape our approach to all aspects of our life and our death.”
Before the AGM, Bishop John Sherrington, who has responsibility for life issues, will celebrate Mass at the beautiful Farm Street Church for the current and deceased members of the Catholic Union.
Bishop John Sherrington says:
“I welcome Maggie Doherty’s address. Understanding death as part of life can help all people to gain a deeper appreciation of the gift of life in all its aspects and relationships. It helps Christians to see more clearly the pattern of the paschal mystery in their daily lives as they live under the horizon of eternity”.
The AGM will be followed by a drinks and canapés reception very kindly sponsored by CCLA. More information can be found on our website and those wishing to attend should register on Eventbrite.
