January 22, has been designated a day of prayer and penance, called the “Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children”. Please join the Respect Life Committee for one or more of the following events: Holy Hour for Life with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at 1:00 p.m. in church followed by public recitation of the Rosary for Life on the Merrick Road sidewalk. Masses for the day at 7:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. including prayers for life. Additionally we will be collecting baby items throughout the weekend of Jan 20th – 22nd. Please see the flyer for more info.
The necessary work to build a culture of life in the USA is not finished and many legislative battles loom on both the national and state level. Most importantly the work of providing abortion alternatives and care for women and their children is even more important. Prayer and action are the means by which we are called to move forward.
