Day for Life – Celebrating the Gift of Life
20th – 21st June
Next weekend, we mark Day for Life, celebrated each year across England and Wales on the third Sunday of June. This year, it falls on Sunday 21st June.
Day for Life is an important moment in the life of the Church, reminding us of the dignity and sacredness of every human life. The Church teaches that life is to be cherished and protected
from conception through to natural death, and this day offers an opportunity to reflect more deeply on that call.
The theme for this year is: “The Wonder of the Child in the Womb.”
It invites us to recognise and celebrate the beauty and mystery of new life, and to renew our commitment to supporting both mothers and their unborn children with compassion and care.
Resources, prayers, and further information are available on the links below.
Supporting the Day for Life Fund
A second collection will be taken at both Masses next weekend in support of the Day for Life Fund. This fund provides vital financial assistance to organisations working to uphold the Church’s mission of protecting human life at every stage.
Each year, donations from parishes are distributed to support specific projects that care for life, offer practical help to those in need, and promote a culture of dignity and respect.
Please be as generous as you can in supporting this important work.
