This session will feature a panel including a representative from Catholic Charities, a physician from Bon Secours, and a representative from the Diocese of Richmond’s residential adult care centers.

This session will feature three separate presentations from an expert on funeral planning in the Catholic Church, the Diocesan Director of Cemeteries, and an experienced Catholic estate attorney.

Joining us will be an ethicist and physician from Bon Secours Richmond Health System. The speakers will discuss issues that often arise with advanced care planning such as: What is the difference between ordinary versus extraordinary care? What should I consider when creating an Advance Medical Directive or attaining a health care proxy? How do I maintain the integrity of my Catholic faith when making these decisions?
