Treating Life with Dignity and Love Series
April 14th at 6:30 PM via Zoom
Many people know the Catholic Church is against abortion, assisted-suicide, and the death penalty. However, not as many people know why. In this new series, Fr. Jeff Tunnicliff will help understand Catholic Church teaching on life issues from the beginning of life at conception until to the point of natural death. This includes how we care for people throughout their entire lives. Fr. Jeff will discuss how we are called to speak up for life and how we can help people choose life.
This series will be conducted via Zoom webinar. As we expand our audience, pre-registration is required. You can register now for this webinar series at: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-XKK13xrRIGGxxufAbg5-A
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
The recording and slides from previous webinars are available online at: http://www.renewaloffaith.org/prolife1
