Preparing for Paradise
Preparing for Paradise offers authentic Christian accompaniment to individuals and their families as they prepare to meet God. We offer compassionate support, answer both common and complex questions, and provide resources to navigate end-of-life decisions that are faithful to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
If your circumstances are more complicated, we can help you explore the medical ethics of your unique situation to find an orthodox and morally acceptable response to protect and respect the dignity of life through natural death.
Approaching the end of life can bring up myriad emotional, spiritual, and ethical questions. We can support you in navigating these issues with faith and integrity based on solid Catholic doctrine.
