Pope Francis proclaims “Year of St Joseph”

In a new Apostolic Letter entitled Patris corde (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis describes Saint Joseph as a beloved father, a tender and loving father, an obedient father, an accepting father; a father who is creatively courageous, a working father, a father in the shadows. The Letter marks the 150th anniversary of Blessed Pope Pius IX’s declaration of St Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. To celebrate the anniversary, Pope Francis has proclaimed a special “Year of St Joseph,” beginning on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception 2020 and extending to the same feast in 2021. To read the full Letter please follow this link to the Bishop Conference website.

Right To Life

The main goal of the campaign is to get as many people as possible to ask their MS candidates to sign the Both Lives Pledge. The Both Lives Pledge outlines three policy changes that are designed to increase protection for babies in the womb, end pregnancy discrimination for women and stop DIY abortions - policies that will save lives by protecting and supporting both mother and child. There is strong pressure from the abortion lobby to permanently allow DIY abortion in Wales. The upcoming elections in Wales are therefore all the more vital when it comes to life issues. Right To Life UK has set up an easy-to-use tool that members of the public can use to contact their local candidates, asking them to sign the pledge. This tool can be accessed HERE
