Catholic Health Association of Saskatchewan

The Catholic Health Association of Saskatchewan (CHAS) is a Catholic, membership-based organization supporting health and healing across Saskatchewan. In collaboration with its members, CHAS provides leadership, education and resources in ethics, mission, spiritual care and social justice. Its work includes helping people and communities address serious illness, death and dying, and end-of-life care in ways informed by the Catholic faith tradition.

CHAS offers practical materials for families and care providers, including a Conversation Guide on Death and Dying and a Faith Based Final Care Directive. The conversation resources are available in English, French and Ukrainian, while the directive can be downloaded free or purchased in hard copy through Universal Church Supplies. The association also shares publications, bulletins, newsletters, annual reports and information on assisted suicide, long-term care and the spirituality of aging.

CHAS connects members through events, including its annual convention and annual general meeting, and recognizes contributions through awards. Its website also provides membership information and opportunities to donate. The association is based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
