Protect Your Life with a Catholic Healthcare Directive
Ensure Your Faith is Respected in Critical Medical Decisions
Why You Need a Catholic Healthcare Directive
Honor Your Faith in Medical Decisions
When facing critical medical situations, it's essential that your religious beliefs are respected. A Catholic Healthcare Directive allows you to outline your wishes for medical treatment, ensuring that your faith guides every decision. Whether it's requesting Last Rites, having loved ones pray with you, or refusing procedures that conflict with Catholic teachings, this document makes your intentions clear.
Take Control of Your Healthcare
Hospitals often make decisions based on profit, which can lead to procedures that you may not want or need. By creating a Catholic Healthcare Directive, you take back control of your medical care, ensuring that your decisions are made based on your values, not financial considerations.
Peace of Mind for You and Your Loved Ones
Creating a Healthcare Directive provides peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones won’t have to make difficult decisions during stressful times. Your clear instructions will guide them, ensuring your faith is respected and that they can focus on supporting you with prayer and love.
Built with Expert Guidance and Faith in Mind
Consultation with the National Catholic Bioethics Center
Catholic Legacy consulted with the National Catholic Bioethics Center to ensure that our Healthcare Directive tool is fully aligned with Church teachings. Our platform helps you navigate complex medical situations while remaining true to the Faith, ensuring that every decision reflects Catholic moral principles.
Integrated with the Sacraments
Your Catholic Healthcare Directive isn’t just about medical decisions; it’s about your spiritual care as well. You can specify your wishes to receive the Sacraments, including Last Rites, and request that a priest be called to your side in critical moments. You can also include instructions for your loved ones to pray with you, providing spiritual support when you need it most.
Living Will, Healthcare Power of Attorney, and More
Catholic Legacy’s tool allows you to create a comprehensive Healthcare Directive, including all aspects found in a Living Will and Healthcare Power of Attorney, all tailored to reflect your Catholic values. These documents ensure that your medical and spiritual wishes are respected, even if you cannot communicate them yourself.
Take Back Control of Your Healthcare
Prevent Unwanted Procedures
Without a Healthcare Directive, hospitals may make decisions about your medical care that are in their best interests and may not consider your personal preferences, affordability, or religious convictions. By pre-planning your medical care, you can prevent unwanted procedures and ensure that your treatment reflects your faith and your values.
Ensure Your Loved Ones are Supported
A Catholic Healthcare Directive not only protects your medical wishes but also provides clear guidance for your loved ones during a difficult time. Without a directive, they may face uncertainty and stress when making critical decisions about your care. A Healthcare Directive can help them understand your wishes and make informed choices that align with your faith and your values.

What You Can Include in Your Catholic Healthcare Directive
Request for Last Rites
Ensure that you receive the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, also known as Last Rites, when facing life-threatening situations. Your Healthcare Directive can specify this request, ensuring that a priest is called to administer the Sacrament.
Instructions for Prayer and Spiritual Support
Include instructions for your loved ones to pray with you and support your spiritual needs during medical challenges. You can guide them on how to best offer their prayers and presence according to your wishes.
Living Will and Healthcare Power of Attorney
Our Catholic Healthcare Directive includes all aspects of a Living Will, outlining your preferences for end-of-life care and a Healthcare Power of Attorney designating someone you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf.
Refusal of Procedures Contrary to Catholic Teaching
Your Catholic Healthcare Directive can specify that certain procedures, such as euthanasia or other practices that conflict with Catholic teaching, are not to be performed under any circumstances. Assisted Suicide conflicts with the dignity of the person and should be avoided.
