The Texas Conference of Catholic Bishops urges all Catholics to consider designating a proxy decision-maker to make health care decisions for them should they become incapacitated and unable to decide for themselves. They urge the use of Advance Directives to appoint a Health Care Agent who understands and shares Catholic values, and can help to apply them to the medical situation at hand. Advance Directives and Medical Power of Attorney templates from the Texas Conference of Catholic Bishops are available on the parish website home page under “Documents.”
