The Church’s guidance on dying well | Catholic Views

Published on: 28th August, 2025

We all will die someday. Do you have a plan to die well? Or maybe you’ve been selected to help make decisions for a loved one when they can’t. Fr. Tad Pacholczyk brings the ethics of the Catholic Church and his pastoral heart into these hard but essential conversations. An episode everyone should watch!

You can learn more about this topic with Fr. Tad from his video mentioned in the podcast, “The Gift of Dying Well” found at https://vimeo.com/bioethicsvideos.

For more locally, consider attending the End-of-Life Seminar and lunch presented by the Catholic Community Foundation for Eastern South Dakota on Nov. 1 at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph in Sioux Falls from 11 am to 12:30 pm. RSVP by contacting John Potts at 605-280-1929.
