Erratum

CMQ Cover May 2023In the last issue the cover on the CMQ contained the line “St Joseph: Gifts of Euthanasia”
This title was an error of word processing for which we apologise. There are no “gifts of euthanasia” and no link between Euthanasia and St Joseph who is patron Saint of a good death.
