Eternal Rest

Why talk about death and dying? The art of dying well is also the art of living well. By understanding who we are and what we were made for, we can order our lives and values according to God’s design for true fulfillment. Contemplating death allows us to live as prudent stewards of the time that God has given us and gives us the ability to joyfully anticipate the gift of eternal life.

Fr. Geary will guide us through this 4-part video examination of death and dying. You will experience the joy that arises in the beautiful sacrament given us for our passing from this earthly life and be forever touched by the poignant pain and peace found in the testimonies given in this series, all
of which will help you to embrace your own mortality with the grace intended by our Lord. You won’t want to miss it, so mark your calendar now.
