Totus Tuus - To Jesus through Mary.

To impel the beauty of the new evangelization – this is the charism of the Heralds of the Gospel; Its founder, Monsignor João Dias explains."The Heralds of the Gospel is a private association of faithful with a very special charism based essentially on three points: the Eucharist, Mary and the Pope."

The Heralds of the Gospel are an International Association of the Faithful of Pontifical Right, the first to be established by the Holy See in the third millennium, during a ceremony which occurred during the feast of the Chair of St. Peter (February 22) in 2001.

The Heralds of the Gospel strive to be instruments of holiness in the Church by encouraging close unity between faith and life, and working to evangelize particularly through art and culture. Their apostolate, which differs depending upon the environments in which they work, gives pride of place to parish animation, evangelizing families, providing catechetical and cultural formation to young people, and disseminating religious Iiterature.

The Scientific Case Against Three Parent Embryos



From The Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales website: http://www.catholic-ew.org.uk/Home/News/Embryos
An international petition to stop genetic modification of human embryos and the creation of 3-parent children is aiming to collect 100,000 signatures from across the world. The petition is against the UK attempt to introduce regulations which would allow scientists to create a child using DNA from three adult sources, mother, father and egg donor.
Please do support this petition:
