The Church - Worldwide and Local


Two recent news items have caught my attention.

One is the letter of Pope Francis for the upcoming Year of Mercy. You can read it on the Catholic Herald site here.

The second is a petition to oppose the Assisted Dying Bill, shortly to come before Parliament. This petition has been started by a student from De Lisle College. You can read more about it on the Leicester Mercury site here and sign the petition here.

The witness of the Catholic Church to God's mercy and the sanctity of human life is expressed to the whole world by the Holy Father, but also to us locally through a student at one of our Catholic Schools.
