Pastoral Peripheries Webinars:
Mondays in October 2024
Join the Diocese’s Caritas and Adult Formation teams to discuss and explore how we can reach those at the edge of our parish communities. Each Monday at 7.00pm in October we will focus on a different group (families, bereaved, isolated and more) and what parishes are doing to help them feel part of the community and encounter Christ. Sign up here: bit.ly/4dPPll7 or email formation@dioceseofnottingham.uk
A talk entitled Assisted suicide
15th October 2024
A threat to the vulnerable is being held in Cathedral Hall, Nottingham (NG1 5AE) on Tuesday 15th October at 7.00pm. With Bills being introduced in the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Scotland, and in the House of Lords, the possibility of a Bill in the House of Commons, the danger of the legalisation of assisted suicide within the British Isles has never been greater. However, at the same time, there is more and more evidence from abroad about the harms that follow if the law is changed. For more information contact John of Nottingham SPUC on 07757 815625 or pro-life@dioceseofnottingham.uk
