Join Br. Linus for a four-part Parish Study on the end of life and dying well. Each talk will take place in the Lower Church at St. Vincent’s at 6:45 PM and can stand alone, so continuity in attendance is not necessary. The talks are intended for people of belief backgrounds and stages in life. Meetings will be as follows:

• July 9: Faith, Hope, and A Happy Death
• July 16: The Art of Dying
• July 23: Last Rites
• July 30: Eternal Life

For our fourth and final session, we will talk about Heaven, the goal of our earthly pilgrimage. We will examine the biblical revelation about eternal life with the triune God. St. Thomas Aquinas’s theological reflections will guide our approach to this supreme mystery. We will then revisit the topic of end-of-life care to see how even death itself can prepare us for heavenly glory.
