March for Life UK : Saturday 6th September

What does it entail? The day starts with an indoor pro-life festival in which pro-life organisations from around the country showcase their work along with sessions for children of all ages, talks, testimonies, pro-life games, prayer, music and much more. We then process though the streets of the capital where we proclaim our central message ‘Life From Conception – No Exception!’ The event ends in Parliament Square where a stage is set up for the keynote speeches, ending with a solemn time of prayer lead by bishops and other religious leaders (including Canon Montjean).

Provisional schedule: Canon will offer Mass at 6am at the Dome. We have booked a coach to leave from the Dome 7am. Leaving London 5pm. Cost £32. To book your place on the coach please see Anne, Sarah or Angela in the piety shop or Jane  07 59 69 308 50 or Sarah 07 84 523 47 49. Seats reserved with payment. Also let one of us know if you are unable to attend but have the means to sponsor a student or child/family to bring down the cost for them. Thank you.
