Leaflets re Pope’s Encyclical
We left leaflets describing Pope Francis’ Encyclical at the back of practically all the Catholic Churches in Milton Keynes, with a notice beside them inviting people to take them. We had advertised the event in the Sunday newsletters of the churches for 1 or 2 weeks beforehand, and a couple of priests announced to the congregation that it was World Day of Prayer for Animals. We were able to hand out the leaflets at 3 or 4 churches to people as they left.
The Encyclical deals with the degradation of the planet due to human activity, and is groundbreaking in its affirmation of the value of all life forms.
We have only recently set up as a group, and we are very keen to encourage other Catholics to start a similar group for animals in their own local church.
