Holy Hour for the Dignity of Human Life

Webmaster • November 10, 2024

You are invited to join the Bishops of England and Wales as they pause in the middle of their autumn plenary meeting to kneel in front of the Blessed Sacrament to pray for the dignity of human life and to uphold a culture of life in our countries. The Bishops will gather in the Chapel of the Holy Family at Hinsley Hall, Leeds between 5.30 and 6.30pm, to unite in compassionate action in light of the bill passing through parliament that seeks to legalise assisted suicide. The Bishops encourage Catholics, in their churches or in their homes, to join in prayerful solidarity with the Bishops to create a powerful moment of prayer throughout our lands promoting the intrinsic dignity of every person.


Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will take place at St. Teilo’s on Wednesday between 5.30pm and 6.30pm for this intention.
