In particular, the promotion of the value of Human Life continues to be at the forefront of the Department’s work and the response to particular cases and the changes to legislation have been particularly timely. The focus on end-of-life care has not been lost, mindful of the continuing need to be ready to respond to attempts to legalise assisted suicide. The Covid-19 Pandemic has given a particular focus to the work, especially with regard to the Vaccine programme, providing reassurance about its use and the service of the Common Good. The promulgation of the Holy Father’s Encyclical Fratelli Tutti, with its call for universal friendship and the “sincere gift of self to others” will continue to prompt the work of the Department at the service of the Church and the deeply significant place of Catholic Social Teaching for the life of the World. I take this opportunity to thank the Department Bishops and all who are engaged in life of the Department for all that has been achieved.
