I am confident that you share my conviction that we must continue to strengthen our Catholic ministry of healing and health care in this country. I believe we are called by Christ to be both a light on the hill and leaven in the bread. Certainly, prayer and discernment, asking for the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and using Catholic moral principles and values must guide our strategies.

This course is extremely important for physicians as the bioethical principles with which you become familiar make decisions in real-life patient situations much easier to make in a manner consistent with your Catholic faith.

Current political trends in America and teaching high school students morality and bioethics made me seek higher learning in bioethics. The course work prepared me to deliver timely lectures and answer the many questions I receive in the classes I teach at our Culture of Life Catholic High School. I highly recommend this course to anyone who has a passion for Life.

As a parish pro-life coordinator, the health care ethics course provided me an in-depth understanding of the sound theological and scientific bases of Catholic bioethics, enabling me to develop an effective and wide-ranging pro-life program.

This is an exceptional program helping each participant understand how to apply Catholic teaching to challenging ethical issues. The program enriched my faith and deepened my spirituality. It reinforced my understanding that, through baptism, we are all members of Christ’s mystical body and have a stewardship responsibility to use our God-given gifts (including the gift of life in all of its phases and with all of its challenges) to bring glory to God consistent with the Church’s teachings.
