Oppose Assisted Suicide

A message from Archbishop Mark on Opposing the Assisted Suicide Bill


There will be a Second Reading and vote in the House of Commons for the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life Bill) on 11 September. As Catholics, we oppose this legislation in principle as it attacks the innate dignity of every person.  It is also very poorly written and gives no safeguards to healthcare staff, nursing homes, or hospices all of whom will be pressured to implement the bill if the legislation is passed.


I encourage all Catholics to write to their MP.  The Bishops' Conference has produced has a scannable QR code, available on its website at: cbcew.org.uk/opposing-assisted-suicide.  On the page, there are various resources, copies of statements and guidance on writing to your MP, and please, please do so, to protect the most vulnerable in our society.


Many thanks,


+Mark, Archbishop of Cardiff-Menevia.

October, the Month of the Rosary

October 12, 2026
October is the month of the Holy Rosary. The Rosary is a beautiful and very powerful prayer, in which we meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary, getting to know them and love them better. Why not consider praying even just one decade each day? Find out more on the Archdiocese website: rcadc.org/october-month-of-the-rosary .
