Britain goes to the polls on Thursday, December 12, with most pollsters predicting a Conservative victory while others forecast a hung parliament. The bishops have urged Catholics to use their vote: “Conscious of the common good of every person and our society as a whole, we ask everyone to engage with the election and vote.”

December 8 would normally be the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception (pictured), but as December 8 is a Sunday, the Solemnity will instead be celebrated on Monday, December 9, in both Britain and the United States.
