ASSISTED SUICIDE
On Friday 11th September, the House of Commons will debate and vote on a bill to legalise assisted suicide. This will put the most vulnerable people in our society at risk. Richard our Bishop asks that we contact our MP, urging her to attend the debate and vote against the bill. You can send her an email via the Catholic Bishops’ Conference website (www.catholicnews.org.uk/assisted-suicide) or send a letter by post to Amber Rudd, MP, Swallow House, Theaklen Dr, St. Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex TN38 9AZ.
 If you would like just to put your name, address and signature on a letter and post it, do take a letter from the table at the back of the church.
