We especially would like to hear from parents of children at Catholic Schools who may be concerned at this spread of Muslim Prayer Rooms in their children's schools.
Please send me your name, either by email, to r.collinsassoc@btinternet.com or in the comment box. Names will only appear on the letter to the Archbishops and not be shown publicly:

Hear is the letter again:
“Your Grace
We have been made aware of a number of Catholic Schools in
your Archdiocese, where, in conflict with Catholic teaching and in direct
contradiction of their mission statements, resources have been allocated to
provide prayer rooms for Muslim pupils.
This is not an issue regarding Muslim pupils attending
Catholic Schools, always provided that there is a shortfall in places.
Such attendance may be an opportunity for the Faith to be
spread by good example and by observation on the part of the Muslim pupils.
It is concerned directly with the fact that this facility
should not be provided on Catholic premises, especially a school setting where
young people could, quite understandably, interpret the provision as a signal
that there is no distinction between Islam and the Catholic Faith.
We hope that you will act to put an end to this practice and
inform Headteachers, and also Chaplains, Priests and Deacons who may be
involved in a pastoral role in the Catholic Education sector, to that effect.
We assure you of our prayers for you, your priests and all
within your Archdiocese at all times”.
Yes please, do add my name to the list!
