Pilgrimage of Reparation & Prayer for the Sanctity of Life to Walsingham, Saturday 3rd August, to be led by Bishop David Oakley of Northampton. 

Please consider joining this pilgrimage, if possible in person, or online at walsingham.org.uk/live-stream/ The need for prayer to support life has been great since the passing of the 1967 Abortion Act. It  is now increasingly needed as the pressures to allow abortion up to birth grow, along with a swelling campaign to introduce Assisted Suicide. Pope Saint John Paull II urged everyone to join in the  'great prayer for life'. A poster is displayed on noticeboards in the Church giving further information.

United Kingdom Parliament News

Right to Life: Action Alert- have an ongoing campaign to encourage people to write to their MP, via a postcard, asking them to support the proposed law change to lower the abortion time limit from 24 to 22 weeks. 

  • If this amendment passes, it will be the first positive change to our abortion laws to happen for over thirty-three years.
  • Many lives will likely be saved from abortion. 
  • Actions you take, such as writing to your MP, will play a big part in persuading MPs to vote in support of this life-saving legislation.
  • We are looking to get as many MPs as possible to join the 25 who have already signed amendment NC15, which is the amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill to lower the abortion time limit.

 

The link below will take you to the site where the postcards can be ordered.

Parishioners will then be able to can take one home after mass to sign and post to their MP.

Ask your MP to sign a Parliamentary motion to stop ‘DIY’ abortion

Carla Lockhart MP has launched a parliamentary motion calling on the Government to end ‘DIY’ home abortion.  If ‘DIY’ home abortions become permanent, this will be a very big change to abortion provision that will likely lead to the loss of many more lives - and it is likely that this will have a strong negative impact on the physical and emotional health of women.  It is therefore vital that as many MPs as possible sign Carla Lockhart’s motion to send a clear message to the Government that they must end dangerous ‘DIY’ home abortion services as soon as possible.

Right To Life UK has launched an easy-to-use tool which makes it simple for you to send an email to your MP asking them to sign the motion. This tool can be accessed here. You can also download a poster here.
