CALL TO ACTION! Join a Pro-Life Campaign
Group, in your area. Get involved in the campaign to save the 8th Amendment and protect the right- to-life of the unborn child. The Pro Life Campaign urgently need volunteers to canvas door to-door and help change hearts and minds in your area. We have just 30 days to go! This is the most vital moment for the Irish pro-life movement in a generation-perhaps ever– because we know that if we lose the 8th Amendment we will never get it back. Have your voice heard, love both Mother and Child and SAVE LIVES. Full training provided. Meeting and canvassing every week. Contact Eoghan on (086) 8518789 or email [email protected] to connect to a group in your area.
ANNIVERSARY PRAYERS
We remember in our prayers, William & Jim
McDonald, 7 Haughton Place, Patsy McDonald
(née Merrigan, wife of Jim McDonald) formerly

wife Ellen & daughter Elizabeth & All the
McDonald Family, Johnny Bailey, South St.,
Johnny & Laura Bailey, South St. whose

Notice Next weekend (28th/29th April) the Bishop will send a pastoral letter for the consideration of the people of the diocese. Copies of the letter will be available in the Church so that we can all take them home after Mass. The diocese believes it is important that each of us carefully reflect upon the serious matter of removing the right to life of the unborn child in the Constitution and then allowing for terminations up to twelve weeks. You are invited to take the newsletter away to read it closely.
