Advance Directives Update
March 21, 2007
As legislators begin the debate on the advance directives statute, we are offering the teachings of the Catholic Church as guidance on this important life issue. We bring not only our moral authority to the issue, but also our practical experience in Catholic healthcare facilities throughout the state. Therefore, we are issuing a joint letter from The Texas Catholic Conference and the Catholic Health Association of Texas. In addition to this letter, we are pleased to recommend the new book on end of life issues, A Will to Live: Clear Answers on End of Life Issues, written by Archbishop José H. Gomez of the Archdiocese of San Antonio. Check out the letter on our public policy tab under Testimony and Letters.

Our Mission The primary purpose of the Conference is to encourage and foster cooperation and communication among the dioceses and the ministries of the Catholic Church of Texas. A major function of the Conference is to be the public policy arm of the Conference's Board of Directors, the bishops of Texas, before the Texas legislature, the Texas delegation in Congress, and state agencies. The public policy issues addressed by the Conference include institutional concerns of the Catholic Church as well as issues related to Catholic moral and social teachings. Learn more about us.
