His mum had asked the Archdiocesan #ProLife Office for help during her pregnancy?

They have been providing support for a few months in the lead up to the birth. Several parishes got involved too, providing baby clothes, equipment and donations.

Paul Atkin, of the Pro-Life Office, said: “After helping mum for several months, it was great to hold this baby boy for the first time. Thanks to all the parishes and people who have been helping out.
