Support Life and Linacre Says Bishop
Bishop Declan has urged people in the Clifton Diocese to back the
national Day for Life on Sunday 1 July. This special day will see
Catholics in the Clifton Diocese joining with the Catholic community
throughout England and Wales in offering support to Life and the
Linacre Centre for Healthcare Ethics.
The theme for this year is ‘Blessed is the fruit of your womb’.
Bishop Declan has written to all parishes in the diocese. In his letter he said, “I am writing to reiterate the importance of this day, which this year, marks the 40th anniversary of the Abortion Act in England and Wales, and to encourage you to use the resources made available by the Bishops’ Conference.
“As in previous years the, Bishops of England and Wales have authorised a special collection in parishes for the Day for Life. This will be held on 1 July.
“Proceeds of the Day for Life collection will go principally to the Life organisation and the Linacre Centre for Healthcare Ethics – which aims to help Catholics and others to explore the Church’s position on bioethical issues.”
Beautifully designed leaflets will be available in parishes in the Clifton Diocese on 1 July. These can be downloaded now from the innovative Day for Life website. The website also gives you the opportunity to learn more with videos to watch and a selection of podcasts to listen to.
Bishop Declan concluded his recent letter saying, “Please show generosity in supporting the important and valuable work of Life and the Linacre Centre.”
