A special Mass celebrating a Day for Life will be broadcast live on RTÉ 1 from St Patrick’s Cathedral in Ballina on Sunday October 3 at 11.15am. The theme for this year’s Day for Life is the meaning of Christian death and care for those who are dying.
“The Day for Life celebrates life as given to us by God,” said Bishop Fleming, Bishop of Killala. “This year’s theme talks about life and gives us a very rich view of the Catholic position of life, namely that no matter how long or how short life is and no matter what condition it is lived in, life has a value because it is given to us by God.”
