Join March for Life UK on Saturday 5th September in London for the annual March for Life. Abortion has devastating repercussions for mothers and children, but its wider impact on the family is often overlooked. It can lead to fractured relationships, hidden grief, and guilt. That’s why the theme for this year’s March for Life is ‘Abortion hurts the family’. Unite with thousands of others at this family-friendly event, where we recognise the value of life from conception and help all people understand why abortion is a tragedy in itself and one that harms the family to its very core. To find out more go to marchforlife.co.uk. There will be a coach going to the march from Nottingham. Tickets are £30 for adults, £10 for under 16s, and £15 for students / unwaged. To reserve places contact Marie: 07948 151264 or marielangford@live.co.uk

holyroodchurchmr@outlook.com is the one to use to communicate with Fr. David directly re spiritual, personal, or ongoing matters.

holyroodmr@gmail.com  was set up in 2020 to deal with general enquiries, communication generated via the website, and third parties such as West Lindsey churches festival. These emails are initially looked at by the bulletin team and passed to Fr. David if appropriate.
