The Ascension of the Lord 13^th May: Focus: Go & preach the Gospel to the whole world. – Through his passion, death & resurrection Jesus has defeated sin & death. When Jesus ascends into heaven, he does not abandon us, but goes to that place for which we all long. He does not leave us orphans, but sends the gift of the Holy Spirit.

STAND UP FOR LIFE

Three points to bring up in conversation

• If this referendum passes, abortion will be allowed in Ireland up to 12 weeks, for any reason.
• An unborn child has a heartbeat at 21 days.
• It is profoundly unjust to remove the right to life of the unborn child from our Constitution. The government should not be given the power to determine whether a person lives or dies.

VOTE NO on May 25^th Lives depend on it
