On a hot and dry Sunday, the pastor told his Catholic congregation, “There isn’t anything that will save us except to pray for rain. Go home, pray, believe, and come back next Sunday ready to thank God for sending rain.” The people did as they were told and returned to the church the following Sunday. But as soon as the priest saw them, he was furious. “We can’t worship today. You do not yet believe,” he said. “But, they protested, “We prayed and we do believe.” “Then where are your umbrellas?” 5 Billboards for Life Over the course of the last 19 years, Orange County Right to Life has placed many pro-life billboards throughout Orange and Sullivan counties.
