Global Week of Prayer for the Church and Peoples of China
In March, Cardinal Bo called for a Global Week of Prayer for the Church and Peoples of China, from Sunday 23 May to Sunday 30 May. I attach his statement here for your interest, which has been widely reported in Catholic media: www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/246867/cardinal-bo-urges-prayer-octave-for-china. A small group of lay Christians have come together in response to his call and have prepared this website with resources for prayer: globalprayerforchina.org. This video encapsulates Cardinal Bo’s call: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYkzP23MVuQ

Sponsor a White Flower for the Unborn
On Saturday, 22 May 2021, at Carfin Grotto, SPUC Scotland will display 14,000 white flower images, one for every child lost to abortion in Scotland in one year, to create a ‘carpet of flowers for the unborn’.

20 Days for Life June 1st till June 20th (8am until 8pm each day)
Due to Tier 4 restrictions our 2021 Lenten 40 Days for Life peaceful prayer and fasting vigil at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow was postponed. Sadly, in the midst of this current situation the government did not halt or restrict its abortion culture of death.
On March 23rd 2021 the government called for a UK National Day of Reflection to be held for those who had died from Covid the previous year. According to latest official figures at that time there had been 143,259 Covid deaths. The following month April 2021 we marked the 53rd anniversary of the implementation of the 1967 Abortion Act which has resulted in almost 9.5million deaths of our unborn children here in the UK. Think of the unborn when you pray the words ‘For what I have done and for what I have failed to do’. We, are coming out for a 20 Days for Life from June 1st until June 20th outside of the QEUH in Glasgow from 8am until 8pm each day. To take part email Ogilvie1615@outlook.com
