The CCRL asks Friends and Supporters to Contact their MPs in Opposition to Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia Expansion with Bill C-7

This gives Catholics in BC some hope for returning to Mass in a safe way. Since Catholic church reoppenings in the early summer, we have done exceedingly well in worshipping safely. The League hopes for good news in Manitoba and Toronto too. @fordnation @jjhorgan @BrianPallister
Archbishop Miller had a “very productive” call w/ B.C. Health Minister @adriandix to discuss reopening Catholic churches to public worship while keeping people safe during pandemic. They're scheduled to talk again next week. @archbmiller @archvancouver https://t.co/qBv5bNkTnO
