We agree with the US Bishops and the NCBC that the currently proposed changes to the definition of brain death is a very bad idea!
This is a complicated topic, though the complicated nature of the topic seems largely due to a desire to create this definition in the first place. Dr. Sulmasy provides an excellent discussion of the issues related to brain death here.
This NCBC podcast featuring Dr. Karen O’Brien is…well…wicked awesome.
Truly, Dr. O’Brien provides unique insight into what it takes for a healing at Lourdes to be declared a miracle. Worth a listen!
The proponents of legalizing Assisted Suicide continue to push in the legislature. We must stand against this!
Please, please(!), contact your representatives TODAY to register your support for a culture of life and opposition to the Culture of Death that advocates for simply killing those are seen as no longer useful.
The template provided by the Albany Update is very good…and…we strongly recommend editing it. Our elected officials are, not wrongly, becoming ever-more able to spot and ignore form letters. So please, take the few moments necessary to express your personal opinion.
Please always feel free to Contact Us if we can be of any assistance!

We are excited to help spread the word that well-known author and speaker Dr. Ralph Martin will be giving a series of three talks at Sacred Heart Cathedral on April 14 and 15.
Please plan to attend (and remember to register)! We hope to see you there!
If you’d like a preview, you can sample (or voraciously consume, in a temperant fashion, of course!) his podcast here.
