Is there a way you could follow Mother Teresa and help Mum’s in need?

24/8/2020

 

On 5th September, the Feast of St Mother Teresa, we’re having an online meeting to start making a difference in the lives of expectant mothers and their unborn children.  You can register here
As you know Mother Teresa was a great worker for the poor.  She said that countries which allow abortion are “the poorest of the poor”
In our Archdiocese, it’s women from the poorest areas who have the highest abortion rates.  Official statistics show abortion rates for women deprived areas are twice as high than for people from the wealthy parts of town.  
It looks like women are being pushed into abortion by circumstances – 4,000 times a year in our Archdiocese
Everybody probably has something to offer, so your help could take many forms:
  • Do you have time to help a pregnancy support service?
  • Could you make a donation to cover costs and buy baby essentials – please donate here
  • Or do you have professional skills like administration, marketing or logistics?
  • Will you pray to Mother Teresa as we start this new venture?
A lot of people doing a little bit makes a big difference.   Let’s be inspired by Mother Teresa and reach out to those who need it most in our Archdiocese
Register for our online Zoom meeting here.   We’ll hear from Sr Roseann Reddy who has been doing this work for 20 years.   And then we’ll think how to do it ourselves:  https://is.gd/PregnancySupport
