The Feast of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.

Eucharistic Ministers are invited to renew

commitment of service at any of the Sunday Masses.

The renewal follows on from the 'Lamb of God'.

I wanted to get in touch to let you know that there are just six days until the final vote on Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide Bill.

Yesterday, Kim Leadbeater suffered her first defeat - with MPs voting 259 to 216 to pass an amendment, which the Leadbeater camp were opposing, to stop doctors raising assisted suicide with under-18s.

This is a major setback for the assisted suicide lobby, but we are not there yet.

We now face Third Reading and the final vote on Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide Bill next Friday.

Your constituency, Lewisham East, could tip the balance and help stop this dangerous Bill in its tracks.

While your local MP, Janet Daby, voted for assisted suicide at the initial vote at Second Reading, just 28 MPs needed to change their minds after Second Reading to defeat this Bill - and a number of MPs already have. That means this is winnable - but only if people like you take action in your constituency.

If enough people in Lewisham East sign the local petition we are running in your constituency, it will be very persuasive in getting Janet Daby to change their vote from supporting assisted suicide to voting NO or abstaining when it matters - at the crucial final vote on the Bill next Friday, 20 June.

In fact, Janet Daby could cast the deciding vote on the Leadbeater assisted suicide Bill. Every single vote will count. The numbers are tight, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

A Jubilee Year

is a special time dedicated by the Catholic Church

to reconciliation, conversion, and spiritual renewal.

During this year, the faithful can receive

plenary indulgences, participate in events and spiritual activities, and deeply reconnect with their faith.

As so many will not be able to travel to Rome to celebrate the Jubilee Year,

the Pope asks local Bishops to designate appropriate churches in each diocese

to be centres of pilgrimage where the many Jubilee Indulgences may be obtained.
