YEAR OF PRAYER

Today, we will begin a "Year of Prayer"; asking for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on our Diocese, as we seek to become a mission-oriented Church that forms disciples of Jesus. More information in pamphlet in today’s bulletin.

Dr. Ramona Coelho is a strong advocate for conscience rights for doctors. She is asking that everyone write a letter to their provincial MPP and federal MP. These letters can be similar in content, but sent separately, in order to have higher impact. Canadians need legislative changes in order to have conscience protection in medicine for health care workers. On a federal level, MP David Anderson has introduced BILL C-418. This bill is trying to create a law so that health care workers cannot be forced to participate in euthanasia or assisted suicide against their will. Please write to your MP, urging them to vote for Bill C-418. The second reading is coming up shortly so there is some urgency in this request.

As well, it has been almost one year since the election of the current Ontario provincial government and many of the members are new to government and may not be aware of the campaign promise that was made by the PC Party regarding conscience protection for health care workers. Losing the court case in Ontario for conscience rights has likely raised awareness so it would be a good time to write them to reinforce that we want them to come through on their campaign promise. Make your letter personal, include your own ideas, request a meeting with Jeff Yurek. He presented a private member's bill 129 that was voted down before the 2018 election. This bill can be found at: https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/bills/parliament-41/session-2/bill-129 . Please help make conscience-protection and charter rights protections reinforced for our children and future generations!
