2025
Join March for Life UK on Saturday 6th September in London. The right to life underpins every other right we have and without it every other right is rendered meaningless. Abortion denies the most vulnerable in our society of their most basic right which is why this year's theme is "Human Rights For All Humans." Unite with thousands of others at this family friendly event where we recognise the value of life from conception and stand up for all those who have been impacted by abortion. Find out more at https://www.marchforlife.co.uk/ or email info@marchforlife.co.uk The full text of the inauguration homily of Pope Leo XIV There are still some copies of this document remaining in the porch for those who might wish to read it.
Quietness (Reverence) in
Church
Be silent, be thoughtful, and be
reverent, for this is the house of the
Lord. Before Mass speak to God.
During Mass let God speak to you.
After Mass speak to one another, but
quietly, without disturbing those who
are at prayer – ideally in the porch.

Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom. May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally. May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever. Amen Old copies of “The Tablet” Some old copies of “The Tablet” will be placed in the porch from time to time – to be taken away and read by anyone who would like to do so.For the hard-of-hearing
