March for Life 2015


Last Thursday parishioners from Holy Cross, St Joseph’s, St Patrick’s, St Thomas More and Blessed Sacrament met to discuss the 2015 March for Life, which is taking place on Saturday 16th May, starting at St Chad’s Cathedral, Birmingham, led by Archbishop Bernard Longley, from 12 noon onwards.  We hope that many more from these churches and others will join us on the march.  The march is across Birmingham city centre and less than a mile long.  We aim to arrange a coach from Leicester (aiming for fare £8-£13 per person depending on numbers) and now we need you to tell us that you would like to come!  Can you spare a few hours in prayerful, peaceful defence of unborn babies in danger of abortion?  Families welcome! Jot your name down on the list at the back of church.
