The Bishops of Washington State and the WSCC have prepared this booklet, which has been updated slightly for 2023, as a resource to assist in making choices about health care and in communicating decisions to others. Our Catholic faith encourages prayerful reflection on death and responsible preparation for it in light of Church teachings.
