Day for Life 2026
Today, Sunday 21 June, the Church across Ireland celebrates Day for Life on the theme The humanity of the unborn child, which invites us to reflect on the wonder of human life from the moment of conception.
We remember how the Lord Jesus Christ Himself sanctified and experienced the beginning of life in the world as an unborn child, hidden in the womb of Mary. Mary knew that she was carrying the
Son of God - God and man - as soon as He was conceived.
John the Baptist leapt in his mother Elizabeth's womb when Mary greeted her.
Our Lady treasured Our Lord in her heart and womb until His birth. To read the full bishops' message visit
