Greetings!
Last week's B.C. Supreme Court ruling striking down the country's euthanasia law demands that we respond as Catholics.
 Please contact federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson and your Member of Parliament, urging that the decision be appealed.
Here are some talking points for your letter, and here's how to reach the Justice Minister or your MP.
To reach Archbishop Miller's response to the decision, please visit this page.
Sincerely,
Paul Schratz
Director, Communications Office

  The Nativity of Saint John the Baptist
Solemnity
Sunday, Jun. 24

It was the office of Saint John to prepare the way for Christ, and before he was born into the world he began to live for the Incarnate God. Even in the womb he knew the presence of Jesus and of Mary, and he leaped with joy at the glad coming of the son of man. more
