Pro-abortion MPs, Stella Creasy and Diana Johnson, have tabled two extreme abortion amendments in an attempt to hijack the Criminal Justice Bill. Right To Life UK has launched a tool on its website that makes it easy for you to email your MP to ask them to oppose the two extreme abortion amendments up to birth and sign Early Day Motion 131 to stop abortion pills being sent out without an in-person medical appointment. Please visit righttolife.org.uk abortion amendments to contact your MP now. It only takes 30 seconds.
I hope this New Year is off to a good start for you and your family.
I am writing to inform you about an important event taking place next weekend - a farewell celebration for our beloved Fr. Roshy, who will be leaving our parish after three remarkable years of service. First and foremost, I kindly request that you keep Fr. Roshy in your prayers as he embarks on the next chapter of his journey. We are immensely grateful for the unwavering support he has provided to our parish community throughout his time here, and we want to ensure he feels our collective love and appreciation. To honour his ministry and express our gratitude, we will be holding a Mass of Thanksgiving next Saturday at 5:30 PM. This will be a beautiful opportunity for us to come together and reflect on the impact Fr. Roshy has had on our lives. Following the Mass, there will be a reception held in his honour in the parish hall. Please join us in saying a heartfelt goodbye to Fr. Roshy and wishing him well in his future endeavours. For those unable to attend the Saturday Mass, fear not! Fr. Roshy will also be present at our two Sunday morning Masses, giving everyone a chance to bid him farewell. On a joyous note, I am thrilled to share that Fr. Roshy has recently achieved his goal of obtaining an MA from Saint Mary's University. This accomplishment will undoubtedly enhance his priestly ministry, and we are incredibly proud of his dedication and hard work. As part of his commitment to the Capuchin Family, Fr. Roshy will soon be crossing the sea to Ireland, where he will join the Capuchins of Ireland. We are confident that Ireland will benefit greatly from his exceptional pastoral ministry, and we wish him all the best in this new chapter of his life. Lastly, if you would like to make a donation to show your appreciation for Fr. Roshy's service, envelopes will be available at all our Masses this weekend and next . Your generous contributions will undoubtedly make a difference. I would also like to take a moment to express my personal gratitude to Fr. Roshy for the unwavering support he has provided to Deacon Con, the Parish School, myself, and the entire office team. His kindness, wisdom, and guidance will be greatly missed. Once again, let's keep Fr. Roshy in our prayers and come together to celebrate his incredible journey with us. Please spread the word among fellow parishioners and encourage their attendance at the Mass of Thanksgiving and farewell reception. Thank you all in anticipation for your continued support and love for Fr. Roshy. Warm regards, and my blessing to you and all the Parish Family.
