ASSISTED SUICIDE LEGISLATION:
On Friday 11th September the House of Commons will debate and vote on a Bill to legalise assisted suicide. This will put the most vulnerable people in our society at risk. Please contact your MP, urging them to attend the debate and vote against the Bill. You can send an e-mail to your MP via the Catholic Bishops’ Conference website (www.catholicnews.org.uk/assisted-suicide) or send a letter by post, a draft of which can be found at the back of the Church. Even better, you could ask to see your MP and express your concerns directly. Further information and downloads can be obtained from

Our work now reaches over 100,000 people every year across the UK in schools, parishes and prisons. One of our highlights was the Good Friday service ‘Born For This’ in 2011 – it was a special time when faith was strengthened and friendships grew. Our Lady of Lourdes will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you.”
