The theme for this year’s Day for Life, celebrated on Sunday, 21 June, is: The Wonder of the Child in the Womb.
Parenthood is a vocation of joys and hopes, of grief and anxieties. On this year’s Day for Life, we acknowledge the particular grief of mothers and fathers who have lost a child before birth or in infancy.
Many parents find consolation in their faith and its assurance that every child, including those who lose their life before they are born or soon after, is created, willed and deeply loved by God from all eternity.

The theme in 2025 was Hope does not Disappoint: Finding meaning in Suffering. Inspired by Romans 5:5-6 we find hope can endure the darkness of human suffering and even see beyond it.
Day for Life 2024 focuses on care at the end of life and the need to build a culture of care.
