During this period of abundant information and social distancing for the common good, CCBI will post messages that are meant for timely reflection and consideration. We hope they may answer your questions, alleviate worry and be of some practical use. Advice to be prepared for serious illnesses or even for death can be helpful at all times, and perhaps especially right now. As Catholics, there are spiritual and practical matters to organize, and most involve making arrangements and having discussions with other people, usually members of our family. In that spirit, here is our first message to you.
