Irish Church Seeks to Break the Silence of Suicide


(10 Sep 09 - RV) Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.


In Britain and Ireland  figures show that around 6,000 people commit suicide each year and the vast majority are young men.

This year the Church in Britain and Ireland chose suicide as the theme for its annual Day for Life.

It’s hoping this focus on the issue will help raise awareness of the vital role played by families and parish communities in sustaining those who may be struggling to cope.

We spoke to Bishop John Fleming of Killala in Ireland who is the delegate for the Day for Life celebration on behalf of the Irish bishops conference. RealAudioMP3
