Dear All,
This weekend we have a particularly important letter from Archbishop Bernard relating to the Assisted Dying Bill which is before Parliament. I very much hope you will encourage our Ethnic Communities to play their part in writing to MPs to reject taking this dangerous pathway.
At the same time I am forwarding my Reflection, which will feature in Burning Bush, our weekly vlog, from this evening. Time is passing so quickly, and I hope you can consider offering your Community the opportunity to take part in the Jubilee Pilgrimages and Events being offered by Archdiocese. Burning Bush offers the opportunity to reflect on the wonderful invitation the Jubilee is to renew our Catholic life.
Prayers and all good wishes, Mgr Daniel McHugh
