Catholics for Labour

A group aimed at those interested in applying Catholic social teaching to public policy - or are perhaps considering participating in public life in the future.

[Mike Kane MP @MikeKaneMP]

Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the World Day of Migrants and Refugees, a moment to reflect on the struggles and hopes of those forced to leave their homes and to pray for their safety.

Behind every migrant and refugee is a human being with a story we may never know.

[Catholics for Labour @Catholeft]

We are sickened and heartbroken by today's synagogue attack. We stand side-by-side with the Jewish community on this awful day, and always. Everyone should be free to worship without fear of violence. We are praying for the victims and all those who loved them

What a way to kickstart Conference, thank you to everyone who was able to join! And big thanks to @MikeKaneMP and his team for organising, and @catkinson80 and the Archbishop for saying a few words. God bless.

[Catholics for Labour @Catholeft]

Only a couple of days everyone! Looking forward to it!

Wow

The most extraordinary drone display over the Vatican - including an image of Pope Francis for which the crowd went wild

[Fr Marc Lyden-Smith @frlydensmith]

Wonderful to see our local MP @bphillipsonMP meeting #Pope Leo in the Vatican. Bridget was fortunate enough to attend the Canonisation of Saint Carlo Acutis, representing the British government, and our community, after the relics of the new saint visited her constituency.

A must listen @Catholeft @timfarron @MikeKaneMP

Well worth a read by all MPs ahead of Friday #assisteddying https://t.co/a0b1e22ivH

[Catholics for Labour @Catholeft]

It's the 134th anniversary of Pope Leo XIII's encyclical 'Rerum Novarum'. This explored Catholic social teaching against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution, emphasising the dignity of work. It's a seminal document that has inspired the new Pope Leo https://t.co/eu3BKA5O31

As Conclave officially begins today, @MikeKaneMP has personally recommended a few films that might just get you in the mood (in no particular order):

1. The Conclave (2006)
2. The Shoes of the Fisherman (1968)
3. The Two Popes (2019)
4. Conclave (2024)

On this, the feast day of St Joseph the Worker (our Director @MikeKaneMP's favourite feast day), we wanted to say thank you for all of the labour you have invested to make our society the best it can be. God bless

[Catholics for Labour @Catholeft]

An interesting morning read for you here on the life on a Scottish priest. He talks funerals, social media, community leadership and the importance of being relatable - worth five minutes of your time https://t.co/KVlmttfRjL

[Catholics for Labour @Catholeft]

Today we mourn the loss of Pope Francis, a man of deep faith, humility, and compassion. He reminded the world of the power of mercy, love and service.

We give thanks for his extraordinary witness to Christ, may he rest in peace.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Christ is risen! These words capture the entire meaning of our existence, for we were not made for death but for life. #Easter https://t.co/s8D2o4WCfV

[Catholics for Labour @Catholeft]

Happy Easter everyone. I hope your day is full of joy and love

[Catholics for Labour @Catholeft]

Posting about a @FraserNelson article wasn't on the C4L bingo card for this year, but since it's the Easter weekend... a really thought provoking piece about how our multifaith society could (and possibly already is) reviving Christianity https://t.co/N90Ufr4lUL

[Catholics for Labour @Catholeft]

We're so excited to be hosting a get-together with the amazing Chair of the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee @FloEshalomi in Parliament on Wednesday. Let us know if you can make it by emailing [email protected]

[EWTN Vatican @EWTNVatican]

On this day five years ago, Pope Francis stood alone in an empty St. Peter’s Square for an extraordinary Urbi et Orbi blessing, praying for an end to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the icon of Mary Salus Populi Romani and the crucifix of San Marcello, he urged the world to entrust their fears to Christ. A moment that made history.

Knowing former MP Stephen Pound, this @CatholicUnionGB pub talk is not one to be missed! Expect a lot of laughter and the unexpected! Should be a great night! Sign up here: https://t.co/TYZdlBpBwm
