Support the parent’s right to know and child protection ballot initiative. October is Respect Life Month To begin this month’s activities is today’s LIFE CHAIN of silent prayer where we join with other churches in solidarity to be a public witness that abortion is wrong and the Church is opposed to the killing of unborn children. Who will stand up in defense of these silent, helpless victims? Please join us on the sidewalks at the four corners of Warner Ave. and Euclid St., in silent prayer, 2:30-3:30 PM. Signs will be available after the Masses or on site. This makes a profound witness to our community. To save ONE baby, saves generations! Is THAT not worth ONE hour? Remember, to do nothing is to give in! The month will end with the annual PENNIES FROM HEAVEN collection of jars, baggies and cans full of coins.
