Promote Care, Oppose Euthanasia

The following documents have been published and distributed to parishes regarding the proposed legalisation of euthanasia and assisted suicide:

  • “A Pastoral Letter to the Catholics of Victoria” regarding the proposed legalisation of euthanasia and assisted suicide (April 18, 2017);
  • "When Life is Ending";
  • "Real care, love and compassion:  the alternative to euthanasia."
