Referendum on Abortion

Four lay-led organisations promoting the ancient Latin liturgy are today appealing for Masses and prayers for the forthcoming Referendum on abortion, due to take place in the Republic of Ireland in late May or early June. The referendum will ask voters if they wish to abolish the 8th Amendment of the Irish Constitution, which protects the unborn. If the amendment is removed, it will be possible for legislation permitting abortion to be brought forward.

Masses to be offered for this intention include:
the Latin Mass Society of England and Wales’ annual Pilgrimage to Our Lady of Caversham, in Reading, on Saturday 24th February, and its annual Pilgrimage to Preston on Saturday 5th May.
Mass at Christ the King, Bedford, on Sunday 25th March.
Holy Cross, Leicester is having a Novena of Masses for this intention, culminating in a Sung Mass on the Feast of St Joseph, 19th March.
