Westminster assisted suicide Bill has fallen
The assisted suicide Bill has failed to pass all stages in
the House of Lords. This means that Kim Leadbeater’s
assisted suicide Bill has fallen and will not become law!
This is a major milestone, but the battle is not over.
Assisted suicide campaigners have said they are going to
try to bring the Bill back in the next parliamentary
session and use the Parliament Acts to bypass the Lords.
To find out more about this significant milestone and what
comes next, visit:

Quietness (Reverence) in Church
Be silent, be thoughtful, and be reverent, for this is
the house of the Lord. Before Mass speak to God.
During Mass let God speak to you. After Mass speak
to one another, but quietly, without disturbing those
who are at prayer – ideally in the porch.
