CAFOD FAMILY FAST DAY
Thanks you for your generosity for the collection the Family Fast Day. Thank You.

THERE IS STILL TIME.
Our Lead Bishop for Life Issues, Bishop John Sherrington, called for Catholics to unite in prayer and compassionate action.
That call is renewed now, urgently,
as the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill vote is likely to take place at the end of
April or start of May, at which time a
decision will be made on whether to legalise assisted suicide and make this Bill law.
Act now! Contact your MP
The charity Right to Life UK has a simple
online mechanism to do this.
It takes little more than a few minutes to input your postcode, make sure the suggested text suits your viewpoint and submit your message to ask your MP to stop assisted suicide being rushed into law.
Bishop Sherrington says, the legalisation
of assisted suicide undermines the
sanctity and dignity of human life.
“The Catholic Church accompanies those suffering and nearing the end of their lives with hope and affection, but also reminds them that their life is precious until the very last breath,”
“Let us also pray for our politicians
and our country that wisdom and
compassion may guide their decisions.
