Saint Andrew Catholic Church Events:
Minnesota Catholic Conference News/Updates:
Members of the Minnesota State Legislature have introduced H.F. 1930, authored by Rep. Mike Frieberg (DFL - Golden Valley), and S.F. 1813, authored by Sen. Kelly Morrison (DFL - Minnetonka), that would legalize death via physician-assisted suicide in Minnesota.
The Minnesota Catholic Conference opposes physician-assisted suicide, the intentional taking of human life that leaves the elderly; ill, including those struggling with mental health; and persons with disabilities at high risk. Read the letter from the Minnesota bishops here.
We stand with disability advocates, members of the medical community, patient advocates and other religious organizations through the Minnesota Alliance for Ethical Healthcare.
Help us stop this legislation in its tracks. Urge your state legislators to support real care at the end of life, not assisted suicide. Click here to take action.
