Day for Life The Day for Life, celebrated annually in Irealnd, Scotland, England and Wales, this year focuses on ‘Cherishing Life, Accepting Death’. Cards on this initiative are available at the back of church or you can visit (www.dayforlife.org). Regarding the Assisted Dying bill coming before the House of Commons early in September, Sir Roger Gale, our MP, has made it very plain he will be voting against this bill. More information on the bill can be found at (www. catholicnews.org.uk/assisted-suicide). There will be a second collection for the Day for Life today. Funeral of Fr Conleth O’Hara CP Fr Conleth, who was a member of the parish team forty or so years ago will be having a memorial Mass at St Joseph’s, Highgate on Monday at 1pm. His body will then be flown to Ireland where Fr Patrick CP, who is still on holiday in Ireland, will be on hand to conduct the funeral and burial in Mellafont Cistercian Abbey, Drogheda. Fr Conleth had asked Fr Patrick some time ago to preach at his funeral. Fr Patrick will be back in Herne Bay on Thursday. Prayer and Praise Our session of shared prayer and praise on Sundat was well attended and went very well. The next session will be on Sunday 23 August, the day after the Minsteracres Holiday Retreat group return.
