A Pro-life Group was formally established in the parish in December 2010 and currently has twelve active members led by parish priest Father Towey. The main aim of the group is to pray for a return to a pro-life society and for the conversion and healing of everyone affected by abortion and euthanasia. We focus on the Rosary, Benediction and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Another important aim of the group is to educate ourselves, fellow parishioners
and our local community on pro-life issues. To that end we have organised Prayer Vigils in the Oratory and a Prayer Service of Light in the church, all of which have been well attended by parishioners. In May 2011 we organised our first Pro-life Chain at the roadside in Uddingston. This latter event was a “silent witness for life” and was attended by 70 people of all ages, carrying placards
displaying a pro-life message and helpline number. An estimated 2000 vehicles passed by during our 2 hour presence. Our plans for the future include further spreading of the pro-life message through film viewing, guest speakers and establishing the Pro-life Chain as an annual event
