The Knights of St Columba will host a Mass to celebrate the value of human life from conception to natural death, to pray for an end to abortion and to support life-affirming choices.
Everyone is welcome at St Margaretβs Church, East Port, Dunfermline, on Saturday 7Β October at 12 noon. Mass will be said by Fr Paul Lee, Provincial Chaplain to the Knights of St Columba Province 3 and parish priest at St Agatha's in Methil. The speaker will be Paul Atkin, from the Archdiocesan Pro-Life Office.
The Knights of St Columba is an Order of Catholic men bound together in Charity, Unity and Fraternity in order to enrich their own faith, spirituality and by words and actions, to proclaim the spiritual, moral and social message of the Catholic Church.Β Find out more about their work at https://ksc.org.uk/
A Green Party MSP, supported by the Scottish Government, is proposing a Bill to ban peaceful prayers and offers of help near abortion clinics in Scotland.
The Bill proposes a jail sentence of up to two years for anyone who even silently prays near an abortion clinic. Catholics in England have already been arrested under similar laws there.
If the Government is allowed to decide when and where people can pray this is a serious threat to religious freedom.
If the principle is established in this Bill, it could easily be applied to Corpus Christi processions or other forms of Catholic social justice work if politicians decide they don't agree with what is happening.
It is vital that as many Catholics, and all concerned for freedom of speech and assembly, make a response to this dangerous Bill.

Join us at this webinar to find out how Pregnancy Support is provided in our Archdiocese and how you can help.
Our Faith calls us to practice love, compassion and respect for life.
Many mothers in our Archdiocese need support during, and after, pregnancy.
In deprived areas there are additional challenges involving finances, resources, sometimes trauma and, often, lack of support.
The Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh supports the work of SHE Pregnancy Support which provides practical, compassionate care to women facing unexpected pregnancies, helping to build a culture of life in Scotland.
This event takes place on the Feast Day of St Teresa of Calcutta who was canonised by Pope Francis.
The Holy Father said:Β "Mother Teresa, in all aspects of her life, was a generous dispenser of divine mercy, making herself available for everyone through her welcome and defence of human life, those unborn and those abandoned and discarded. She was committed to defending life, ceaselessly proclaiming that βthe unborn are the weakest, the smallest, the most vulnerableβ.
