An Important Date for your Diary!
Following the very successful ‘Rally for Life’ gatherings held in Dublin and Belfast during the last few years, this year’s Rally is planned to take place in Belfast on Saturday, 3 July.
Here are the details:
When: Saturday, 3 July, 2010
Where: City Centre, Belfast (the actual meeting point is to be confirmed)
At: 2 p.m.
The organisers of the Rally for Life 2010 say that:
Unborn children’s lives are under threat. Powerful pro-abortion campaigners in Ireland, the UK and the European Union are attacking our pro-life laws. That’s why it’s so important we show our opposition to abortion. On 3rd July let’s do that together, at the All-Ireland Rally for Life!
Bring your family and friends for a great day out – and help to send a powerful message.
Further information will be available at www.rallyforlife.net at a later date.

Pat Buckley
I was born in Galway, Ireland where I attended first Scoil Fhursa and then St Ignatius (Jesuit) College. My family moved to Cork in 1960 and I spent my last year at the Christian Brothers College in Mc Curtain street Cork (CBC).
I came to Dublin in 1963 where I met and married my wife Philomena. We have lived in Dublin since then and have been blessed with seven children and 17 grandchildren (so far). When I finished school I studied architecture through the professional institutions and I am a retired Member of the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland (MRIAI). I also hold a BSc. in psychology and political philosophy.
I currently lobby pro-life and pro-family issues at the United Nations in New York and Geneva and occasionally at the European Parliament and Council of Europe. I am a member of the pro-life, pro-family coalition operating within the international institutions and I am a consultant to the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children SPUC on UN and related matters.
Between 1978-85, as a married couple Philomena and I were involved in the presentation of Marriage Encounter Weekends and pre-marriage courses. We also represented Worldwide Marriage Encounter on a committee for the family in the Dublin Archdiocese. Between 1985-1988. I was appointed National Secretary and then President of the Catholic Secondary Schools Parents Association (CSPA). I have been lobbying pro-life issue at the UN for upwards of 12 years.
I am a past President of the National Association of Catholic Families (NACF)
Publications:
1997: Anthology of pro-life verse
