The Jubilee Year of Hope
Letter from Bishop Toal
to all the Faithful of the
Diocese of Motherwell
The Bishop has outlined a programme of events to mark the Jubilee Year of Hope. A copy is available by clicking on the link below.
Jubilee Deanery Pilgrimage
Information about the diocesan celebration of the Jubilee is available on the diocesan website: www.rcdom.org.uk
The Jubilee Cross will travel round the Diocese at the end of August and beginning of September. The Pilgrimage will include a Ceremony of Welcome for the Cross followed by a Jubilee Mass in each Deanery. The hope is that the people from the parishes in each deanery will gather as Pilgrims of Hope for their Mass to pray for the future well-being of our Church and our World.
One event is an Airdrie deanery Mass in
St Aloysius, Chapelhall
on
Monday 1st September at 7pm.

Message from Anthony Horan, Catholic Parliamentary Officer
Dear Friends,
Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill will be debated in the House of Lords in early Autumn.
The Bill, which narrowly passed through the House of Commons by 314-291 votes, is expected to return to Parliament on 12th September with further scrutiny and debate in the days which follow. If it is to become law, the Bill must be supported by the Lords. The House of Lords would normally be expected to support a Bill where there is a solid majority in the Commons, but because the Commons majority for this Bill is just 23 votes and, crucially, the Bill is not a Government Bill, it is still possible that the Lords could reject it.
There are over 800 members of the House of Lords and the process for contacting them isn’t as straightforward as it is for contacting MPs. I can, however, make it a little easier for you. The attached Word document lists Peers from Scotland. I suggest that you find at least one who has a connection to your area (their former constituency is listed in the third column) and either write to them or send them an email. I have provided email addresses in the table. Please note that some Peers use a generic ‘contactholmember@parliament.uk’ address. Where this is the case, please remember to state in the subject line of the email which Peer the correspondence is for. If you cannot find a Peer with a connection to your area then please contact one or two random Peers.
[Insert Name of Peer e.g. Rt Hon Lord/Baroness….], House of Lords, London, SW1A 0PW
Whilst emails are easier, written correspondence is much more effective as it is more likely to be noticed by politicians.
Whichever method of communication you choose, please remember to be respectful and courteous, and please remember to include your postal address.
There are many defects in the Leadbeater Bill and this excellent Care Not Killing resource lists 26 of them. You may also want to check out this excellent briefing by SPUC. You can use these resources to formulate your letter/email. Please also remember to share your own concerns and personal stories.
Thank you for your continued support on this very important issue. With your prayers and emails/letters we can still defeat this extremely dangerous Bill.
